O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

From our Clergy Team
Each day I serve you, the faithful of the Shrines of Pittsburgh, my prayer is overwhelmed with thanksgiving
for the many graces the Lord has already provided for the important ministry we have undertaken and I beg
God everyday that his grace and mercy will never cease to be at work for us all. I can’t help but think day after
day how these places will grow and thrive as we grow and thrive as places known for vibrant faith and
unbounded charity.
Thanks to all of you, too, who have offered to help in anyway. Whether it is your continued involvement in
activities and ministries or new ways you are hoping to be of service, I look forward to the many ways God
will be at work through us.
As we move forward day by day seeking to highlight the things that make each shrine and parish unique, and,
at the same time, discover how we can work together to promote the shrines as treasures to be shared with
folks far and wide, I know that effective communication will be extremely important to share the good news of
the Shrines of Pittsburgh. A number of communications tools are already in effect and others are in the works
to ensure, as best as possible, that our communication is consistent and comprehensive.
Bulletin – It was a priority to have a “common” bulletin from the beginning of the Shrines grouping. I hope
that you have found the bulletin helpful during this transition. Each parish and/or shrine has its own page to
share information unique to it. In addition, there are a number of common pages that allow us to share
information that is helpful to all and in a variety of formats. I am grateful to Becky Hurst from Most Holy
Name of Jesus Parish for coordinating the bulletin each week and for those from each parish that design the
unique pages each week. Despite being well-rooted in the digital age, the bulletin is still the most effective tool
for communication in parishes. You can also access the bulletin online at: https://www.parishesonline.com/
find/shrines-of-pittsburgh.
Social Media – The Shrines of Pittsburgh already has common social media accounts on a variety of
platforms, including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. While basic information has been posted on these
accounts, in the future I hope that they will become a place to share photos and information about the goings
on at all of the shrines. The accounts are as follows:
Facebook – www.facebook.com/pghshrines
Twitter – @pghshrines
Instagram – @pghshrines
Give these accounts a follow and stay connected!
Website – While I would have preferred for the website to be up and running already, it is nearing its
completion and I hope for it to be live by the end of the month. There will be one website for the Shrines of
Pittsburgh that will host the information for each parish and shrine. Each unique location will have its own
“home” page that can be accessed off of the Shrines home page or by way of a unique web address. Each
location will have a place to display photos, histories of each shrine, contact information, parish calendars,
Mass and Confession times and much more. I’ll be sure to keep you posted as we get ready to launch the
website.
As the life of the Shrines of Pittsburgh continues to develop, we may explore other means of communications.
In the meantime, stay informed by means of the communications tools already at work.
God bless!

Mass of Anointing - September 29
The Sacrament of the Sick will be offered
during a special Mass on Sunday, Septem-
ber 29 at 1:30 pm at St. Anthony’s Chapel.
This administration of the sacrament of the
sick is offered for those Catholics who are ex-
periencing physical ailments of a serious na-
ture: those who will be undergoing surgery for
serious reasons, the elderly who have be-
come notably weakened even though no seri-
ous illness is present, those who are battling
serious illnesses and have
not been anointed re-
cently, and children who
have reached the age of
reason and are seriously
ill. The Ladies of Charity
will offer bottles of Holy
Water to take home for
those who are attending.

Eucharistic Adoration & Veneration
of the Relics of Sts. Cosmas & Damian
at St. Anthony's Chapel
On Sunday, September 1st at
3:00 pm, we will begin to pray
the Church's evening prayer
before Christ in the Eucharist.
The Blessed Sacrament will
be exposed in the monstrance
at the beginning of evening
prayer and the service will
conclude with Benediction, Christ imparting His
blessing to us in His Eucharistic Presence. Fol-
lowing the service, the faithful who wish to do so
will have the opportunity to venerate a relic of
one of the saints whose feast day falls during
that month. For September, it will be the relics
of Saints Cosmas and Damian, whose feast
day is September 26th.

Dear Parishioners,
Scheduling of Masses for the year 2020 will
take place in Rosary Hall from 9 a.m. to 12noon
and from 1-3 p.m. and 6-7 p.m. PLEASE NOTE:
The date for Masses will appear in next week’s
bulletin.
Once again, limit of the Masses is 3 per family.
For most, that means doubling of same names.
We cannot for example give 5 Masses for every
individual member of a family who died, now it is
possible for example, that every sister, brother,
niece, nephew etc offer a mass for one particular
individual. To avoid hard feelings and disbelief,
no masses will be taken over the phone. When
you are here you can see for yourselves if the day
you want is free or already taken. (If you cannot
make it to the Rosary Hall have someone bring
your masses). There is a Church law which says
that one Mass each weekend and holyday must
be for PARISHIONERS which means that fifty
some Masses a year are already taken up.
Please note also that of the 3 Masses permitted,
only 2 can be on a weekend. We have to try to be
fair to everyone. Everyone would like weekends
but it’s impossible to accommodate everyone.
Weddings, silver and golden anniversaries are not
included in the 3 Masses and may be scheduled
whenever. Masses on CHRISTMAS, EASTER,
MOTHER'S DAY, FATHER'S DAY, THANKSGIV-
ING will be for all parishioners living and
deceased. No individual intentions on those days.
(Masses on All Souls Day are also for all Poor
Souls).
Also, if you get a specific date you want, it
would be nice for some family members to be
present at Mass. So often, there is no one from
the deceased's family present for the Mass.
PRAYER FOR OUR CHURCH
O GOD, YOU HAVE MADE US THE CHURCH OF YOUR
DEAR SON. MAKE OUR PARISH A FAMILY OF ONE
HEART AND MIND IN LOVE TOWARD YOU. GRANT
THAT OUR COMMON LIFE AND WORK MAY BE AN
EXAMPLE TO ALL ABOUT US. GUIDE OUR PRIESTS
IN THEIR WORK. ACKNOWLEDGE THE INTERCES-
SIONS OF IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY OUR PA-
TRON, AND KEEP US SECURE IN YOUR LOVE. AMEN

From the Sisters of Merciful Jesus
We are starting a little book store mostly with material on Divine Mercy.
We hope that through these materials the devotion to Divine Mercy might be more known!
Our founder Bl. Michael Sopocko was a great apostle of Divine Mercy that never ceased to do
everything in his power to make God’s Mercy more known and loved! As his spiritual daughters it’s
only fair to continue such an amazing work!
We hope that Pittsburgh will soon burn with the fire of love for God’s Divine Mercy!
Whoever is interested to take a look at our materials please come and visit us at the Divine Mercy
Center by St. Stanislaus Kostka Church. It is better to send us an email to confirm a date so that we
could be available for you!
We also accept any prayer intention which we offer especially during the hour of Mercy every day!
Blessings and prayers in our
Merciful Lord Jesus!
Blessings!
Sr. Emily Lepage, ZSJM
