Dear Friends,

FRIDAY FOOD BANK: I am writing this bulletin column on Thursday morning. I had been at the Passionist Nuns in Carrick for their Mass this morning. They prepared beautifully for the feast of the Apostle, St. James. I was thinking what an honor it is for this monastery to serve those Sisters. Their entire life is dedicated to Christ Crucified by contemplation and prayer.  When I returned back to the monastery at 9am, I saw Rusty Wilcox and Stuart Wait, our employees, unloading our pick-up van of cans of vegetables, rice crispies and all kinds of foods for our food bank on Friday. Once a week, we have a food line and help feed 50 or so families. 

Magnificat Pittsburgh Chapter is sponsoring a breakfast on Saturday, August 17, from 9 AM to 12 Noon Hilton Garden Inn, Southpointe, 1000 Corporate Dr., Canonsburg, PA. Sister Rita Clare Yoches, TOR, will be keynote speaker. The fee is $35.00. Registration can be made online at magnificatpittsburgh.org or by calling Donna at 412.874.7471. Brochures are available in the church vestibule. All women are welcome.

Welcome to St. Paul of the Cross Monastery in the historic South Side neighborhood of Pittsburgh, PA. We hope the monastery can become for you a place where you can experience God’s love.

Retreat Center

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.
