Saturday, January 1st is the beginning of the new year. The Veni Creator (the hymn to the Holy Ghost) will be sung before both Masses (8 & 11 a.m.) that day to invoke God’s protection and guidance in the new year. The faithful may gain a plenary indulgence under the usual conditions by assisting at the Veni Creator.

On Friday, December 31st, in thanksgiving for all the blessings that God has granted us this year, there will be a special Holy Hour beginning at 6 p.m., ending with the Te Deum (the great hymn of thanksgiving) and Benediction of the most Blessed Sacrament. The faithful may gain a plenary indulgence under the usual conditions by assisting at the Te Deum.

Read the letter from Provincial Superior Matthew Talarico, announcing Canon John O'Connor's new assignment in Rockford, Illinois, and Canon Ross Bourgeois' assignment to Pittsburgh.

There will be a reception after the High Mass on Sunday, September 19, 2021, to bid farewell to Canon O’Connor and to welcome our new Parochial Vicar, Canon Ross Bourgeois. Please stop by to thank Canon O’Connor for his wonderful, inspiring service to the parish over the past three years, and to meet and greet Canon Bourgeois, who is looking forward to his time here in Pittsburgh. Snacks, desserts, and light refreshments will be served.

UPDATE: View a gallery of photos from the reception on Sept. 19.
