The Preserve Croatian Heritage Foundation (PCHF) was formed for the sole purpose of "saving and preserving" St. Nicholas Church, North Side in Pittsburgh, PA for future generations. For the past 11 years, members of PCHF have been working diligently to accomplish this mission even though there have been many obstacles to overcome. We are closer than ever to acquiring the St. Nicholas Church buildings and converting them into a National Immigrant Museum. The museum will be an honorable way to pay tribute to our Croatian ancestors, as well as other nationalities.

The Northside Leadership Conference has joined in the efforts of PCHF, and their Executive Director is negotiating a sales agreement with the Pittsburgh Catholic Diocese's officials for the acquisition of St. Nicholas Church. We are closer than ever to reaching this goal, but the sales agreement is contingent on the results of a Geological Technical Study on the hillside behind the Church to ensure it is stable. This study is expected to be conducted in the next few months and will cost approximately $50,000.

Thanks to generous donors, we have raised the amount needed with the exception of $4,000. We need your help to raise the balance. Time is of the essence, so please make donations payable to PCHF and mailed to P.O. Box 5812, Pittsburgh, PA 15209.
