The Lithuanians: Oldest Lithuanian Church in USA demolished by Diocese of Allentown Pennsylvania

Judge dismisses lawsuit to stop
St George Lithuanian Catholic Church's razing -
An effort to use the courts to stop the demolition of St. George Roman Catholic Church in Shenandoah has failed.

The Lithuanian Catholic Church, St. George, was constructed by Lithuanian parishioners in 1891.

For over 200 years this Catholic Church was maintained by Lithuanians and their descendants. Yet, because the Church was handed over to the Dioceses to be consecrated 200 years ago, the Lithuanians have no say and the courts have no jurisdiction and the Dioceses does not care. Morally the Church belongs to the Lithuanian Community.

It was the Dioceses of Allentown action that demolished the church.
Where is the Justice.
