Topic: A personal faith journey and the endurance of St. Sava's Serbian Orthodox Church in McKeesport
Guest: The Very Rev. Stevan Rocknage, pastor of St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Church
How Topic Discussed: St. Sava's was founded 125 years ago by Serbian immigrants to the Mon Valley. How has the parish changed and grown over the years? How did the congregation endure the decline of the steel industry and the McKeesport area? Why does St. Sava's hold a "Taste of Serbia" festival each year and what does it accomplish through that outreach? Why did Stevan Rocknage decide to leave his career as a family therapist and hear a call to ministry? How does the Serbian Orthodox faith differ from Roman Catholicism or Protestantism and what are the steps needed to convert to the faith? How will the parish celebrate its 125th anniversary next year?
