Diaper Bank Ministry

A need has been identified in Washington County, specifically in the Valley, to help support young families and mothers needing diapers. Through a new partnership with Catholic Charities of Pittsburgh, we will now offer a diaper bank, which will be aligned with our monthly food bank distribution. An issue for many organizations was where to store diapers. Under the parking lot in Charleroi (in between the rectory and the formation center), where a convent once sat, Fr. Jerry kept the garage and full basement for future use. In 2022, the basement space was waterproofed and refurbished. So that dry, clean, finished space will now be home to the diaper bank. The parish is very excited about all these things happening at our Charleroi campus and will continue to seek ways to leverage all our spaces in our tri-community parish. 

Dignity Robe Group

The group meets every third Friday of the month at the St. Andrew the Apostle sewing room in Donora from 9:00 a.m. to noon. We need more people to join us for this wonderful project, which involves sewing, cutting, ironing, etc. Join us!

Prayer Blanket Ministry

Our new ministry is underway. These blankets are being made with love, prayed over, blessed, and then will be taken to comfort those who need them. If you want to participate in this ministry by crocheting or knitting prayer blankets, please call 724-258-7794 or email [email protected].

Rosary Makers

The Rosary Makers received an anonymous donation of $50, which enabled us to order more supplies. Our meetings will resume in March. Members may drop off and pick up supplies in Marian Hall or by calling Eileen. Memorial donations are also accepted. Anyone wishing to join should contact Jean at the Charleroi office at 724-483-5533.
