     Our annual Parish Share Campaign began March 1^st for the current 2021 calendar year. The Parish Share Program supports the needs of older adults and the less fortunate: Catholic Charities, Roselia Center and Mon Valley Social Services are among the many social programs that receive support through Parish Share.

     In addition, your contribution provides a vital role in helping more than 85,000 young Catholics receive a firm grounding in their faith through parish based religious education programs as well as through campus and youth ministry, helping to bolster the spiritual development of young adult Catholics.
 

The assessment as issued by the Diocese of Pittsburgh for
Saint Katharine Drexel Parish
in 2021 is:
$83,554.00

Our Parish Share assessment for the parish continues to increase as does the cost of living.

This year, each household is asked to please consider a pledge of $350.00 to the Parish Share Program for 2021 that can be payable over the course of the year ($100.00 as the initial gift plus a monthly gift of $25.00 over the next ten months).

You are asked to be as generous as you are able according to your means.

During Coronavirus Outbreak

God our Father we come to You in our need to ask Your protection against the Coronavirus that has claimed lives and has affected many.

We pray for Your grace for the people tasked with studying the nature and cause of this virus and its disease and of stemming the tide of its transmission.

Guide the hands and minds of medical experts that they may minister to the sick with competence and compassion and of those governments and private agencies that must find cure and solution to this epidemic.

We pray for those afflicted.
May they be restored to health soon.

Grant us the grace to work for the good of all and to help those in need.

Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son who lives and reigns with You, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God forever and ever.

Amen.

"Spiritual Communion"

Introduction: 
     During this time of the Coronavirus, many people feel afraid and helpless.

     As Christians, we are called to do good through our example of words, actions and prayer. The good that we do can have a positive impact upon others at such challenging times. Pope Francis offers us encouragement: 

“Let us call upon him today, firmly rooted in prayer, for without prayer all our activity risks being fruitless and our message empty.” (Evangelii Gaudium, no. 259)
