About Our Program

Saint Paul of the Cross Parish has partnered with South Hills Catholic Academy to provide an engaging Faith Formation program for our students. Parish volunteers work in collaboration with SHCA teachers to serve students in grades K-8. They use the Spirit of Truth curriculum by Sophia Institute, a program designed by Catholic master teachers, to deliver students a meaningful encounter with our faith.

We offer two catechetical options, allowing you to choose the method that works best for you and your family. 
  • In person classes: Mondays, 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM at South Hills Catholic Academy (Saint Winifred School)
  • Homeschool option- please note that students enrolling in the homeschool option will be required to meet with their teacher twice during the school year to ensure a proper understanding of the curriculum. Students will be required to follow the weekly assignments as well.

Please contact the SHCA school office for more information:
