A Message from Our
Regional Superintendent |
|
|---|
|
The Church sets aside the month of May to honor our Blessed Mother in a special way. Many of our schools will have special activities throughout the month including May Crowning, Living Rosaries and classroom May altars. Teachers take this month to lead their classes in decades of the rosary to pray for special intentions.
Our Diocese invites us to draw closer to our Lord through his Blessed Mother. Text MARY2024 to 84576 to receive beautiful daily texts. Visit To Jesus, Through Mary | Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh | Pittsburgh, PA (diopitt.org) for more Marian inspirations and devotions. May our Blessed Mother continue to intercede for us!
We continue to celebrate First Eucharist and the Sacrament of Confirmation in our parishes this month. May God Bless our young people as they mark this milestone in their faith journeys.
May God Bless and Protect you always.
Jonathan Cuniak,
Regional Superintendent for PERCES |

Holy Family second grade students sent their Flat Stanley cut outs to family members and friends who forwarded him to other friends and family. The concept of Flat Stanley is backed by a book where Stanley is sent on adventures around the world and documented through writing letters to one-another. The Holy Family Flat Stanley seems to have made it all over the globe!

Divine Mercy Academy Students Take a Spiritual Journey Through Pittsburgh |

The DMA 4th-8th graders had an amazing field trip in April exploring some of the Shrines of Pittsburgh! The first stop was the St. Anthony Chapel, where they marveled at the incredible collection of relics. Next, students journeyed to the stunning St. Paul Cathedral for Mass and a closer look at its grand architecture. Finally, the day finished at historic St. Patrick Church, learning all about the oldest church in the city! ️
The students were captivated by the rich history and beauty of these special places and can't wait to continue exploration of the Shrines of Pittsburgh on future adventures! |
