| We are a group of Coptic Orthodox families who come from four different counties; Blair County, Cambria County, Centre County and Indiana County. Altoona is the central location for all of us. With the guidance of His Eminence Bishop Michael, then Fr. Shenouda El-Baramousy, we started this church back in the winter of 2004. At first, we used to rent St. George Orthodox Church, the local Antiochian church in Altoona for bi-weekly Saturday services celebrated alternatively by Fr. Shenouda El-Baramousy and Fr. Guirguis Ghobrial of MD. As of March of 2006, we have moved into our current location at 1910 19th Street, Altoona, PA 16601. |
