Mission Statement

We, the members of the parish community of St. Rosalia as of October 9, 1993 declare ourselves to be people of God united together as a faith community believing in Jesus and committed to him through Catholic tradition. By virtue of our common Baptism as Christ was anointed Priest, Prophet and King, so we share in His Priesthood by striving to prayerfully worship God, as a Eucharistic Community, we share in Christ's role of Prophet by rooting our lives within and proclaiming God's Word and we share His Kingship by endeavoring to better our knowledge of Him so that we may reflect God in our daily lives by serving others.

We are empowered to be a disciple of Jesus by being nourished and strengthened by His Word and the Sacraments of His Church.

We give witness to the Presence of Jesus among us in Greenfield and Squirrel Hill, by warmly welcoming new members into our community, compassionately reaching out to those in need and lovingly praying for those who have neglected and abandoned the Catholic way of life.

Therefore, I personally welcome the challenge of God and my fellow parishioners to never be satisfied with who I am, but rejoice in who I can become, to never be content with what is good, but to be happy with only the best, and so I commit myself to become the best Catholic Christian in the history of the Parish Community of Saint Rosalia.
