I’m at Mark and Erika’s House in Ohio and saw the gorgeous painting of Immaculate Heart of Mary church in Pittsburgh’s Polish Hill neighborhood.

It’s where they were married in August 2002.

I posted Bill’s artwork in Ohio in 2018 but it deserves another post.

Ohio’s Smallest Church

Ohio’s smallest Church seats 8 and is just 10 by 14 feet. It’s right by a Rest Area near Coolville, Ohio. Here’s another article about the tiny church.
