     OUR LOCAL HERITAGE
     www.alle-kiskitoday.com
     
     St.  Andrew’s  Episcopal Church history, “The Church  On  The
     Hill”,  began  almost  at  the same time  as  New  Kensington
     itself.  The Pittsburgh Reduction Company moved 17  miles  up
     the  Allegheny  River in 1891 and changed  its  name  to  the
     Aluminum Company of America. Many people came and among  them
     were Episcopalians. A mission was established in 1896 as  The
     Church  of The Savior under both Trinity Church in Pittsburgh
     and Freeport. The first Church building was dedicated in 1902
     and  renamed St. Andrew’s. Located in the center of  town  on
     Eighth Street, the church once again began a move in 1947  to
     its  present  location  on Edgewood Road,  aside  of  Alcoa’s
     Building. Read more interesting history by clicking  on  “Our
     Local  Heritage” online. Click on “Archives” for  a  list  of
     history tidbits.
