Mass of Remembrance
Loved ones who have died between November 1, 2019 and October 31, 2020 will be remembered in a special Mass, held at each church in our Parish Grouping.
- Saint Louise de Marillac Church
- Monday, November 2 – 6:00 p.m.
- Saint Joan of Arc Church
- Saturday, November 14 – 10:00 a.m.
You are welcome to attend either Mass, but please let us know your intentions so that we can prepare properly. Your loved one’s name will be read and a member of your family will be given a candle in their memory after the homily. Letters are being sent to families whom we are aware of that have experienced a loss during the year. If you have not been contacted and would like to participate, please fill out the form in the bulletin or use the link to the right and submit it by Monday, October 26.
Please print all information and return to Sr. M. Faith, c/o 320 McMurray Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15241 via mail, or drop off in the collection basket, or church office by Monday, October 26.

Bishop Zubik on Catholic Teachings, Civility, and Misleading Political Materials
Bishop David Zubik has received an increasing number of messages from Catholics who want him to endorse one or the other presidential candidate.
“While I urge all the faithful of our diocese, both the laity and the clergy, to help build a better society by exercising their right to vote, it is not my role nor can it ever be for me to tell anyone for whom to vote. As Church, we must be about addressing issues grounded on our faith and tradition,” Bishop Zubik said.
