Downtown Churches In 1869

[Towntalk]

This leads to an interesting question, or set of questions.

We know that the old Welsh Congregational Church on Elm between Wood and Rayen is Youngstown's oldest church structure, so what is Youngstown's oldest church Congregation? And what is the next oldest church building still functioning as a church?

[Towntalk]

This list was just for the downtown churches. If I'm not mistaken there were other Catholic Churches on the East Side such as Immaculate Conception and Sacred Heart, an there was also St. Ann's just outside the downtown area.

Surprised there was only one catholic church at the time, but I suppose it is understandable.
