Gardening help needed! Spring is here. The Laudato Si gardening group has lots of plans for beautifying the monastery gardens we tend to, and we can really use your help. No experience is necessary. We mostly need people to help us with maintenance and watering during the growing season and with clean-up of the gardens in the fall. Any help you can give us will be greatly appreciated. Please contact Rose Lord if interested at roseannlord7@gmail.com or call me at 412-951-7224 and leave a message. Many thanks in advance!!

Dear Friends,
MAY HAS COME: It is nice to have the extra light for Daylight Savings Time, trees in bloom and flowers popping up. I think of May as such a beautiful month. First Communions and Mothers’ Day, shrines to Our Lady in the classrooms and in our homes, planting flowers and trees getting leaves, and birds returning north. It is a happy month and the earth looks so fresh and pretty. With our Chapter only a few weeks away, it’s a time that’s hopeful, too. We can now have some fresh starts and new beginnings. I’m hopeful for a beautiful fresh start at living Passionist life.

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.
