ARE YOU COMPLIANT WITH THE SAFE ENVIRONMENT CLEARANCE REQUIREMENT?

This fall, on behalf of the Catholic Conference of Bishops, the Diocese of Pittsburgh is being audited to determine if our parishes are compliant with the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People. If you have received an email, letter, or phone call from the safe environment coordinator to update your child abuse clearances, please do so within the next few weeks. All employees and volunteers who are no longer active or are non-compliant must be archived. It is critical that employees and volunteers be brought into full compliance with the safe environment policies. If you have questions or need assistance to complete the clearance requirements, please contact Andrea Korcan-Buzza by email at safeenvstcecilia@gmail.com or call 724-775-0801.


The CHRISTIAN MOTHERS of St. Cecilia are part of a nationwide organization of women devoted to growing in the life of Christ through prayer, service and hospitality. We meet once a month but are  active throughout the year, providing  various services to our Church and our community. The Christian Mothers is open to any woman, 18 and older, who takes care of, cares about or teaches children to be Christians and better people.


The Holy Family Angel Guild, due to COVID-19, has decided not to have meetings the rest of this year.  We will reevaluate in January 2021. Please keep an eye on the bulletin for more information.



Saints Peter and Paul's MARIAN GUILD is a parish organization that formulates and provides a program of social and spiritual activities. It is open to all women of the parish. Membership dues are $5 and meetings are held periodically.
The Marian Guild has established a Library for all parishioners to use. The Library is open when the Rosary Makers are having their meetings. Please call the Rectory office if you are interested in visiting.

Prayer Walk 2020
Saturday, September 26
12 noon to 2:00 p.m.

We will start our 1.25 mile walk at Wayne Park, River Road, Beaver and make stops along the way to pray for our nation,
families, government, military, and communities.
We are modeling this walk after Franklin Graham's March in Washington, DC on the
same day at the same time.

Please join us as we seek God's face according to 2 Chronicles 7:14.




Our  parishes'  Conference of ST. VINCENT DE  PAUL SOCIETY will be participating in the annual 2020 HELP THY NEIGHBOR VIRTUAL WALK/RUN (formerly known as the Walk for the Poor) to raise money to assist local individuals and families in need. During the month of September, you can walk anytime at your convenience or walk on the official  date  of September 27, 2020. We will be selling tickets at the back of all four churches after all the Masses the weekend  of September 19-20.  You may also purchase tickets  online at  https://svdppitt.org/.  Click on News

If you or anyone you know who is a shut-in or in the hospital and would like to receive the Anointing of the Sick, Reconciliation, or Holy communion, please call any of the parish offices.
