A social, spiritual, and fundraising group.

In addition to spiritual development, the guild provides opportunities to connect with other christian women in a relaxed atmosphere and enjoy each others company. It is also a great opportunity to strengthen old friendships and develop new
ones by socializing and supporting each other at meetings and activities.
Meetings are held monthly between September - December and between March -June. The meetings are held at the
Saint Albert and Saint Basil Church sites. (You do not have to attend every meeting to be a member.)

There are many activities throughout the year. Some activities include a Day of Recollection, a spring luncheon/Chinese auction, a picnic, two bingos a year ( primary fundraisers) and an annual day pilgrimage. Proceeds from the fundraisers go to
Our Church,  Carrick food pantry, Passions convent, and other local charities.

The Ladies’ ministry primarily extends to hospitals, nursing homes, outreach to the homeless of Pittsburgh, the homebound, 
the elderly, and the needy in the local Community bringing to them corporal and spiritual nourishment. This ministry reflects
one aspect of the church’s mission of reaching out to care for those in need. Through this ministry the parish is able to
participate in the needs of its parishioners, thereby encouraging the growth of the Christian community.

Members of the Ladies of Charity are invested by the Bishop.

The music ministry is dedicated to enhancing the beauty of the Mass by providing encouragement and support to the congregation’s participation in singing various hymns and acclamations during the Mass. The men and women of the choir
add beauty and solemnity to the Mass with their musical talent.
Cantors also lead singing at the Mass, with or without the presence of the choir.
Music Ministry is a joyful and fun way to enrich your spiritual and worship life!
If you would like to be a choir member or have the ability to be a cantor,please contact the parish Director of Music Ministries.
