Coffee Hour Sponsors Needed! 

Our Sunday coffee hour gives us a chance to visit with friends, but also to exercise our philoxenia, or hospitality, towards our guests and newcomers to the parish, who have just participated in the Divine Liturgy with us.  We are currently in need of hosts for Sunday coffee hours for many dates (see below).  Two families can share the cost.  If you are unable to purchase the items for coffee hour, consider donating the necessary amount to Philoptochos, who will then arrange for purchases and setup.  How to sign up to sponsor a coffee hour?  Contact Mary McCrady at (412) 828-7549.  What to purchase:  Coffee Hour Shopping List

Available Coffee Hour Dates:

I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger, and you took me into your home.
