Young Adult Ministry in the South Hills of PGH

All young adults (21-39) are invited - Tuesday, March 5, 2024 at 6:30 PM at the Diocesan Pastoral Center. Free food, beer, wine, and dialogue with other young adults. Pope Francis and Bishop Zubik want to hear what you have to say. Space is limited. To save your seat, visit: www.diopitt.org/synod

Help us provide Christmas gifts for those in need via the Angel Tree! We are currently still in need of 70 gift cards to Walmart and Target and several unclaimed toys, sports items, and more.

Gift cards are a valuable means of giving the recipients the ability to buy essentials they otherwise could not afford. Please consider signing up: bit.ly/sma_angel_tree

Gift drop-off will be at Conroy Hall at Our Lady of Grace this weekend, December 2-3rd after all masses and from 1-4 PM on Sunday the 3rd. Please, no gifts are to be left in church or at the rectory. Please make sure the Angel Tree code is securely attached.

With questions, please contact Sara Castellano at [email protected] or 412-561-3300 ext. 395. We are so blessed by your generosity and support!
