| OLD CARPATHO-RUSYN GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH
CEMETERY BEING RENOVATED as part of an Eagle Scout Project |
|
Ryan's "Eagle Scout" project will also include the renovation
of the old Greek Orthodox cemetery grounds in Shieldsburg, PA. Since the
cemetery is no longer used for burial, it has fallen into disuse and disrepair.
The cemetery part of his "Eagle Project" will involve the clearing
and removal of the brush from around the grave stones, righting the sunken
grave stones, filling in the sunken graves and, scraping and painting the
large 12 foot high Greek Orthodox Cross that marks the cemetery grounds. |
