 In 1908 , the number of attendees at St. Peter Church began to dwindle . Many of the priests who had served the congregation had been reassigned a few years earlier . In 1908 , a popular priest , Father Sacchi , was sent to Mother of Sorrows Church in McKees Rocks , Pennsylvania . Parishioners formed a committee to go speak to the Bishop on Father Sacchi 's behalf . Although Father Sacchi was not allowed to return to St. Peter , Reverend James Vocca , who had also been at St. Peter prior to his reassignment , was brought back to the church .
