It was so wonderful to see Mario Porreca serving in the Sanctuary at St. Anne this past weekend!  Mario had this message for all of you!  “Things are going great for me as I work through my last full year of seminary formation before ordination to the Transitional Deaconate in 2026!  Please continue to pray for me as I come closer to my Ordination and please know of my prayers for all of you at the Parish!  It’s always a joy to be home and get to worship where I truly feel at home with my parish family! ‘

Mario was accompanied by two fellow seminarians from St. Vincent Seminary.   Kevin McCullouch, is from the Diocese of Ogdensburg, NY, and is in Third Configuration, preparing for ordination to the Transitional Deaconate in the Spring of 2026   Kevin sends this message…”Please pray for me as I prepare for this momentous event.”

Michael Schulte is from the Diocese of Covington, KY, and is in Second Configuration.  Michael is co-sponsored by the Archdiocese of the Military Services.  From Michael….We are both grateful for your prayers and please know of our prayers for you!

Mario, Kevin and Michael, be assured our Parish will keep you in our prayers as you continue your journey toward Priesthood!  Wishing you God’s abundant blessings!

Please continue your prayers for all three of our Seminarians! Watch for our update on Mario!

CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES – CRS provided porridge made from local and affordable ingredients to young children suffering from moderate malnutrition in Nigeria. The result? A 98% recovery rate from malnutrition for just $50 to $66 to feed each child. 

In order to be as effective as possible, humanitarian relief agencies must choose interventions that have the greatest impact on the most people at the lowest price. Within complex, large-scale programs, the methods for determining the cost of individual activities are often inconsistent, labor-intensive and error-prone. To ensure programs implement the most impactful cost-efficient interventions, CRS uses Dioptra, an online tool that generates evidence to calculate an activity’s total cost per output (per participant, per hectare, etc.). Dioptra retrieves existing data from an agency’s financial database and guides staff through a standardized process. Visit www.crs.org to learn more!

CATHOLIC CHARITIES – Did you know that the Catholic Church has two main organizations in the United States that respond to people in need? The mission of Catholic Relief Services is to assist the poor and vulnerable overseas, while Catholic Charities USA provides service to people in need in the United States. Together, we try to assist as many people as possible.  Please visit www.crs.org for more information on Catholic Relief Services, and visit www.catholiccharitiesusa.org for more information on Catholic Charities USA! Thanks for your support!

Millions in Catholic school tuition assistance available SPREAD THE NEWS! The 12 Diocese of Greensburg Catholic schools now have millions of dollars in tuition assistance available! Become a TOP Student today. Visit www.CatholicSchoolsGuide.org or call 724-552-2565.

Top Student program extended to higher education at Franciscan University Because of the continued generosity of an anonymous donor, Catholic high school students in the Diocese of Greensburg, or those attending Catholic high schools in Western Pennsylvania, could receive priority for tuition assistance, regardless of income, if they choose to attend

Franciscan University of Steubenville. This new initiative is funded by the same anonymous donor who funded the TOP Student program in the Diocese of Greensburg. To date, the TOP Student program has provided tuition assistance to 800 families in Catholic schools across the four counties of the Diocese and has helped to increase enrollment in Diocesan Catholic schools by 20% in just two years; that is one of the largest Catholic school enrollment increases in North America.
