Abandoned Church

Abandoned churches. St. Joseph Byzantine Catholic Church was located on Orleans Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio and was initially constructed in 1913 and rebuilt in 1928. After 70 years the church closed in 1980. The building struggled along for several decades before becoming abandoned in 2002. The clergymen were permitted to get married which caused some issues with Roman Catholics. Many of Byzantine Rite Catholics defected to the Russian Orthodox Church.
Byzantine Rite Catholic Church, also called Greek Catholic, was founded that retained much of the Eastern Orthodox traditions. Masses were held on Old Slavonic rather than traditional Catholic Latin They used the Julian calendar instead of the Gregorian calendar.
In the 1970s, the neighborhood began to decline both in population and in demographics. The congregation was steadily shrinking and not being replaced. During this time, parish members began migrating out of the city to the suburbs. The expense of maintaining the building and the grounds forced the congregation to abandon the location in 1980. Later, the building was taken over by the Greater Zion Hill Baptist Church community, who in turn abandoned the building.
