New this year! Join us for a Build Your Basket Event! Come and learn more about the baskets that are blessed on Holy Saturday at 10:00a.m. at St. Adalbert Lower Level. This tradition started in many Eastern European communities in the 12th Century. The baskets contain elements of an Easter meal and symbols of Christ's Resurrection and are meant to be shared with friends and loved ones after the Easter Vigil.

“Tolton: From Slave to Priest” is a live theater production based on the life of Father Augustus Tolton, the America’s first Black priest. Despite enduring racial prejudice, Father Tolton led a life of hidden holiness, tirelessly sharing the Gospel with the people who flocked to hear him preach. His moving story brings hope to our society, so desperately in need of his message of reconciliation and healing. Tolton is currently on a national tour, stopping in the Diocese of Pittsburgh on April 10, 2024. The performance is best suited to those ages 10 and up.
