A new parish, Prince of Peace, will determine whether the church and its rectorv will be sold, but sale is surely the expedient course when and how would it be used again? and the roof- struc- ture is said to be weakening. - But this is a building a group of six buildings, in fact that seems to call -for extraordinary efforts of preservation.- Its hillside location, presenting diffrculties ofaccess and parking, may perhaps have been one reason for the closing, but it has also given the St. Michael's group a dramatic and conspicuous setting. People think of Europe when they see St. Michael's up on the hillside among the little houses, see the copper spire against the trees. The church, dedicated in 1861, may be the oldest functioning church in the city. Its spare mid-Victorian Romanesque architecture is sim- plg handsome, and lucid. Its tower is a true landmark, a familiar and prominent presence on the South Side over seven generations. And the church and its build- ' ings, along narrow Pius Street, is one of the most visually effective architectural groups in Pittsburgh. According to a news release of July 27 fromfhe Diocese of Pittsburgh, ll new parishes are to be estab- lished as part of "first phase reorganization/revitaliza- tion," these parishes typically having a number of "worship sites," i.e., church buildings. One result is that, of 63 parishes that submitted reorganization plans, 14 will have their churches closed. On the South Side, St. Michael the-Archangel, St. Casimiç and St. John the Evangelist are to close, leaving four "worship sites" in the new Prince of Peace parish.

Gathering and organizing all of the information contained here was an enormous undertaking for the team that created this book. I and many others thank them for their effort and for the new resource they have created for all of us. Now, for the first time all of those who provide valuable services (from health and human service providers to churches, from community development corporations to cultural institutions) can communicate easily with each other. It is my hope that this wealth of information, and the collaborative effort it took to produce it, fosters new partnerships and relationships among those who work to create a better quality of life for so many on the North Side. My thanks to the North Side Service Providers Network, and especially Jane Miller of Mercy Behavioral Health, for having the vision, patience, and persistence to build this new resource for the community. Sincerely, Roy Lahet, Executive Director Mercy Behavioral Health August, 2002 ii USING THIS DIRECTORY The creators of the directory intended for this book to be easy and intuitive to use. It's organized into three parts: Part I: A listing of organizations by service type (see below) Part II: Complete program descriptions, organized alphabetically Part III: An alphabetical listing of all organizations 1.

Comprehensive Planning for a 10-year horizon is an involved process, which reflects the needs and desires of the community it is to benefit. A plan should give the public, business and government agencies a clear understanding of the municipality’s intentions and desires regarding its future development, which will lead to greater cooperation and minimization of potential conflicts. At its most basic, the planning process includes steps to organize, review, prepare and communicate.
