2020-2021 Faith Formation Registration is Open

Underground Student Ministries is the youth group at St. Paul of the Cross Parish in the South Hills. Our mission is to start a revolution by knowing, loving, and serving God. Join us for our weekly bible studies, monthly Sunday Socials, and other events throughout the year!

Summit Bible Studies (Temporarily Postponed)
Join us on Tuesday nights at the South Hills Chick-fil-A for Summit Bible Study from 7 pm - 8:15 pm. No RSVP needed for these weekly events - bring a bible, bring a friend!

Sunday Socials
Sunday Socials will resume in Fall 2020.

Summer Mission Trip
Each summer, Saint Paul of the Cross Youth Minister takes a trip to share the love of Christ with others through service. For more information about the trip or to find out if there are any spaces left, please contact Amanda at ascruggs@stpaulofthecross.com.

At Saint Paul of the Cross Parish, we believe that there is always more to learn about our faith. Throughout the year, we offer opportunities for adult education courses and fellowship opportunities. Feel free to check out the Ministries and Organizations at both Saint Anne and Saint Winifred to supplement your learning with charitable works and social fellowship throughout our new grouping.

Current Adult Faith Formation Series: Angels and Demons
Have you ever wondered what the Bible says about Angels and Demons or what the Bible says about God conquering evil? Then join us for our Summer Study on Angels and Demons starting on July 15 from 6:30-8pm in the Hrico Room at Saint Winifred Church. This six-week study will discuss spiritual beings in the Old Testament, the power of darkness in the New Testament, and common myths and misconceptions.

Pub Theology
Join us on the last Thursday of each month for Pub Theology. We meet at Caliente Pizza and Drafthouse at 7 pm for an evening of food, faith, and fellowship. The schedule for fall Pub Theology will be released in September.

Inquiries about adult faith formation programs can be directed to Matt Scruggs at (412) 563-1414 or via email at mscruggs@stpaulofthecross.com. Hope to see you there! 

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is an ongoing formational program that meets on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm in the DePalma Room on the Saint Anne Campus from September through May. Individuals seeking Baptism and full initiation into the Catholic Church (catechumens), or those who are coming from another faith tradition seeking to complete their initiation (candidates) are invited to join.

The members of the RCIA team encourage candidates and catechumens to continue conversion and "enter into a relationship with God in Christ." Culminating at the Easter Vigil, the catechumens and candidates are brought into full communion with the Catholic Church through the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist.
