Carole, The two that I know of in Lock Haven are St. Agnes Roman Catholic Church and Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church. St. Agnes, from what I was told, was originally established to meet the needs of German-speaking Catholics but eventually became more affiliated with the Italian community. Immaculate Conception usually met the needs of the Irish-speaking Catholics in the area. Both churches are still active today in Lock Haven, and both have cemeteries -- St. Agnes Cemetery and St. Marys Cemetery (which is more affiliated with Immaculate Conception Church, as I understand it). Hope this helps!
