This August, the parish music program hosted a 4-day Chant Camp seminar for our parish youth ranging in age from 5-18. This year was a tremendous success with a record-breaking attendance of 60 children! Students learned about solfège, chant technique, Latin pronunciation, and choral singing, all within the context of the Traditional Latin Mass. For many in the group, this was their very first experience with chant. The Chant Camp ended with a potluck dinner before High Mass on the Feast of the Assumption, for which the choristers sang two motets and nearly all of the chants of the Missa de Angelis! We are grateful to Mrs. Sharon Burchill for her talent and dedication to these children, as well as all the parents and volunteers that made this year’s Chant Camp a great success. Any families interested in enrolling their children in any of the parish’s three youth choirs can contact Mrs. Burchill at
During the week of the Feast of the Assumption, a family of nine received the Sacraments of Initiation, including Baptism, First Communion, and Confirmation. What a witness to the faith for all. Welcome to the Church — Deo Gratias!

Faith Direct, the company that handles our parish's online giving, is becoming ParishSOFT during October 2025. This is a planned upgrade to the existing system, and will mean little change to your stored donor information or donation selections.
One change that may impact you directly is that if you've selected 'weekly' contributions, the amount you designated will be deducted every week and not twice per month like under the prior system. You can continue to log in using your saved credentials and may wish to do so to select the exact days of the month that you want your contributions to be processed. Also, the entity on your credit/account debit notification will now indicate "Payment Brand Ministries."
Notifications were emailed to all users, but should you like more information, please check out the information from ParishSOFT shown below. Also feel free to call (412-761-1508) or email the Parish Office should you encounter any problems.
This month, Faith Direct will upgrade to ParishSOFT Giving. Your account and payment information will transfer securely— no need to create a new account or re-enter your details. After the upgrade, you’ll log in to ParishSOFT Giving to manage your giving or make updates.
What you can expect with ParishSOFT:
- Flexible Giving Schedules
If you give weekly, your donation will now be withdrawn weekly, not bundled into one monthly charge. Prefer monthly? You can update your schedule anytime. - More Control Over Gift Timing
You’re no longer locked into the 4th or 15th of the month. You choose the day and frequency that works best for you. - More Ways to Give
Enjoy expanded digital wallet options, including PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.
Change brings new opportunities—and this upgrade is designed to give you greater flexibility, control, and convenience while continuing to support your parish.
