Parish Updates II

9/12/21

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Greetings in the Lord.

Formation of a Bereavement Committee
We are looking to form a Bereavement Committee. The loss of a loved one is a difficult time for families and we as a parish want to support our brothers and sisters in mourning. It would be great to get a group of our parishioners together to assist with sending a card to the immediate family, being present at the Funeral Mass, putting a luncheon together for the family, and other small details. A team of generous souls who might feel called to perform this act of love in the name of our parish family would earn graces for us all!

We hope to have a large enough committee that the burden isn’t always falling onto the same shoulders, with adequate representation from all four churches in our parish. Once we have our committee formed we will have a meeting to decide on the best and most efficient way to structure our work together. Please call the office at 724-775-3940.

ST Church Abatement
Saint Titus Church has had recent roof leaks, which has damaged the ceiling in the church and the ceiling and flooring in the sacristies. In order to facilitate repairs we need to conduct an asbestos abatement project in these areas.

The asbestos abatement project will start September 7, 2021 and anticipated completion of September 24, 2021. The Diocese of Pittsburgh through the Office of Facilities Management and Maintenance has assisted us with obtaining an asbestos abatement contractor that has worked in the Diocese of Pittsburgh. This contractor is a Commonwealth of PA certified asbestos abatement contractor. All asbestos abatement will be performed in accordance with all federal, state and local regulations. During this process the sacristy will be closed.

Sacramental Records
Anyone in need of sacramental records, please contact the Archives Office at the Diocese of Pittsburgh at 412.456.3158 Monday through Friday from 9AM to 4PM. This information is no longer available through the parish offices.

Remembering 9/11
The weekend of September 11/12, 2021, we as a nation remember the 9/11 terrorist attacks of 2001. May our Lord continue to heal the families and victims, give eternal rest to all who died on that day, and bless and protect our military personnel and their families.


In the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts,
Fr. Jean-Luc, OSB
