OUR FOOD BANK IS OUR OLDEST MINISTRY
This weekly ministry has been continuous since the 1850’s, paused only for the COVID-19 mandate.
Next weekend, March 7/8, the second collection will be exclusively for use in our Food Bank. This is one of our quarterly special collections to sustain this ministry.
Our Passionist Associates are looking forward to praying with everyone at a special teaching Mass, Monday March 23 at 6:30 PM in the Chapel.
Together we will not only see, hear, smell, and touch what physically takes place at Mass but share a glimpse of the Divine. The Presider will be Rev. Dan D’Antonio. There will be refreshments following. Please RSVP to 412.381.7676 and enter via the Retreat Center.
Easter baskets for the Mooncrest After-School Program, a ministry of the Felician Sisters, will be in the back of the Church this weekend. Our Passionist Associates ask that you take one home and fill it for the children. Please return to our Monastery Office by Sunday, March 29 and thank you in advance for your generosity!
There will be a Diocesan second collection next weekend, March 14/15, for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development, Domestic Missions, and Black and Native American Missions.
Dear Friends,
GENERAL VISITATION: As we have been mentioning, Fr. Paul Francis Spencer, C.P., Vicar General of the Passionists, has been assigned to do a visitation of all Passionist Communities in The United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. He has already visited the Passionists in Florida and Atlanta, Georgia. From there he goes to North Carolina and will fly in here Tuesday night. We are very lucky to have this devoted Passionist evaluate our ministries and community life. He wrote one of the finest biographies of St. Paul of the cross in English. I invited him to preach in the parishes where I was Pastor. I am happy to welcome him to our community here.
Paul of the Cross, founder of the Passionists, always wished his monasteries to be places of hospitality. The same applies for our retreat center. We have a variety of retreats for men, women, mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and many day events as well.
