SALBERG REV. JAMES G. Age 74, of Prospect, the retired pastor of Saint Andrew Roman Catholic Church in Butler, passed away Saturday, March 24, 2018, at the VNA Inpatient Hospice in Butler. Born August 20, 1943, in Beaver, PA, he was the son of the late Will C. Salberg and Bettie Wolf Salberg Smith. He was also a treasured son of Robert W. Noah Smith, who raised Father from age five after his dad, Will C. Salberg, passed away. Father Salberg was a graduate of Gannon University and Saint Vincent Seminary. He was ordained a priest in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh in May, 1969.

These included Dismas House, which supported former offenders transitioning to community life, and Pete Seeger's Hudson River Sloop Clearwater Organization. He was generous with his time and talent, ministering to a wide flock who benefited from his keen eye, sharp wit, and generosity. He was a devoted son and caregiver, dedicating himself to his mother during the final years of her life. This very personal ministry resulted in an extended network of caregivers and friends who were welcomed as family.
