Wayne Township, Armstrong County Pennsylvania Churches

St. Michael’s Protestant Episcopal Church was organized in
1836 by Rev. B.B. Killikelly, who was its rector for several years. Services
were first held in a private house and the congregation numbered ninety-one
persons. The congregation rapidly increasing, the pastor visited the East for
the purpose of soliciting subscriptions to build a church. In this quest he
was successful, and in 1838 a frame edifice was erected at a cost of $250. It
was located in the southern part of the township east of the village of Echo.
The church organization was made and it was incorporated in 1866. Rev.
Willliam Hilton and Rev. D.C. James followed Rev. Mr. Killikelly up to 1876.
At that time the church had begun to decline, and shortly thereafter ceased to
exist.
