As we begin to join together, I would like to announce the scheduling of dinners to allow for our parish groups to come together, to meet each other and spend some time reflecting on your group and how we will move forward together. Although the initial reflec- tion portion of the dinner will be similar, I would still encourage your participation in the dinners so that you can meet others in your group, and begin to work together.
Please make sure that you RSVP for each dinner so that we can prepare for you, by calling the Parish Office at 412-531-2135 at least 5 days prior to date of dinner!
