  • History of St. Germaine Faith Community St. Germaine Cousin
    History of St. Germaine Faith Community "Our Parish is the first in this country to be dedicated to St. Germaine. Without a doubt, her choice for us was Providential." - Father John Hugo, Founding Pastor "It was hardly an auspicious beginning. A small congregation of Catholics, plucked from St. Anne's Church in Castle Shannon, St. Valentine's Church in Bethel Park and St. Gabriel's Church in Whitehall, met together for the first time on June 15, 1957, to form a new parish of 550 families." - Father Thomas J. Kram "We realize that God calls all people to form His body on earth. We recognize the many gifts and talents of our congregation and share in the financial generosity of the many who support our structures and our ministries. We give thanks for the many different and unique people who form our parish." - Father Nick Pesanka St. Germaine Cousin St. Germaine Cousin was born in the remote village of Pibrac in 1579. Germaine was a frail and sickly child. Her right arm was deformed and partially paralyzed. She was prey to every disease of the times due to the unsanitary conditions under which she lived. Germaine was a shepherdess who lived with the animals she tended. She had a mattress of hay and twigs in the corner of the barn. She was never sent to school, merely instructed briefly in order to make her First Holy Communion. The girl was shunned by children of her own age, and ignored by adults. Her only refuge was the Church. There she heard Mass every morning.

The history of Pius IX. will always be read with interest. His Pontificate was, indeed, eventful. In no preceding age were the annals of the Church so grandly illustrated. The spiritual sovereignty, “with which,” to use the words of a British statesman, “there is nothing on this earth that can at all compare,” was crowned with surpassing glory. Doctrines which, hitherto, had been open to theological discussion, were ascertained and pronounced to be in accordance with the belief of all preceding Christian ages. The Church was enabled, through the labors of her Chief and the zeal of her Priesthood, to extend vastly the place of her tent. The life of Pius IX. himself was a marvel and a glory. None of his predecessors, not even Peter, attained to his length of days.
