On a small stage in the basement of St. George church is the bingo and roullete hall that were exempt from the old gambling laws. The chiuch is seen by many as sometimes obsessed or associated with grandeur and ceremony, but many churches, some may have old grand buildings, but in every other way are modest, depopulated and struggle to make ends meet.
Built by the orihinal Lithuanians in the city, the church closed in 2009, and the congregation’s new church, St. Casimir, is on the far east side. The old St. George would hold Saturday Mass in one of the classrooms in the long closed school that sat directly below the church itself.
