Welcome
Welcome to one of the newest and fastest growing Catholic Parishes in the North Hills of the Diocese of Pittsburgh! Our desire as a faith community is to be loyal to the authentic teaching of the Roman Catholic faith and practice. We pledge to celebrate the sacraments with faith, reverence and devotion. Service to the poor and needy is paramount to putting our faith into action. Sharing our faith and teaching the truth of Christ is done through good example and many creative and innovated Faith Formation programs and projects.
We are a young and enthusiastic faith-filled community which desires to welcome all with Christ-like love. There is something here for everyone! Our hope is that this web page will become your homepage. All of the exciting information regarding every aspect of parish life will be presented here and regularly updated. The very latest information regarding our Building Campaign with up-to-date photographs and Master Plan illustrations will also be available.
These are exciting times! The Parish of Saints John and Paul is embarking upon a new chapter in our short but riveting history. By the grace of God and through an enormous amount of hard work, we were able to secure twelve new acres of adjacent property in June of 2005. Now we have embarked upon the quest of building our permanent Parish Church. This new structure will be our spiritual home which will enable us to embrace our growing population. Our hope is to begin construction as soon as possible pending the generosity and support of all of you.

Our Campaign Prayer
Lord Jesus, You told us “where your treasure is, there your heart is also.” The parish of Saints John & Paul treasures our faith in You, our children, and every person who gathers here. Help us to have the courage to sacrifice, to love, and to build in Your name. Guide us by Your Spirit of Wisdom, give success to the work of our hands, and keep us in Your peace.
Saints John & Paul and Mary, our Mother, pray for us. Amen
"You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubts; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fears; as young as your hope, as old as your despair."
Next weekend, the Diocese of Pittsburgh will welcome home Cardinal Daniel DiNardo officially for the first time since being named Cardinal by Pope Benedict XVI. There will be a Mass on Saturday, August 23rd at 6:00 PM at St. Paul’s Cathedral; and the celebrant/homilist will be Cardinal Dan DiNardo. All are welcome to attend. Following that Mass, the Diocese will host a reception for all in attendance. Since Cardinal DiNardo was our founding Pastor, we are privileged to be hosting him ourselves on Sunday, August 24th for the 11:00 AM Mass. We also will provide a light reception following the Mass.
Don’t forget this weekend is the Parish Blood Drive. Walk-ins are welcome! With so many people on vacation at this time of year, blood supplies for emergency surgeries do fall short. So if you are able to assist, your gift of blood is deeply appreciated.
From day to day and week to week, you can see for yourself the progress that is being made on the building of our new Church. The roadways and parking lots have their base coat of paving in at this time. Following the final construction of our building, the top coat of paving will be applied. It is exciting to see this dream become a reality right before our eyes! To keep the reality happening, however, we continue to need the support of everyone in the Parish. The Capital Campaign Committee is busy soliciting the support of everyone! If you have not made a pledge or assisted financially in any way, please consider doing so now. If you have questions or concerns about the Capital Campaign or how to make a donation, please contact Ginny Fisher at 724-935-2104, Extension 21, or the Capital Campaign Committee through Roger Roble at 412-427-6780, or email him at: rroble@zoominternet.net.
The Finance Council will be mailing the Annual Fiscal Report to every household. Please take a moment to read over this financial statement. The Finance Committee takes very seriously their responsibility to ensure that the fiduciary resources of our Parish are secure, sufficient and accountable.
