Lentorama 2012: Know Your Diocese
Day 34: Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown
I had no real reason for choosing this diocese. Just searched on Altoona for some reason, and there it was. Johnstown was added to the name in the 1950s, for reasons I can't figure out (Johnstown doesn't appear to have been the seat of a diocese in its own right). Both cities have cathedrals, which I guess makes sense if they're both in the name of the diocese. Not much else to say other than that one of their bishops left to become the bishop of Scranton. Seems like a lateral move.
