2024 & 2025 STEWARDSHIP: GIVING WITH PURPOSE

As we have ended 2024, we are blessed to have fulfilled over 96% of our Stewardship pledges.  To those who have given, we thank you deeply.  If you haven't yet completed your pledge, this is your opportunity to help us keep the light of our parish burning brightly.  Your generosity ensures that our ministries, programs, and spiritual outreach continue to thrive.

Having entered 2025, we invite you to become a luminary of our parish by making a new stewardship commitment, joining the 92 who have already pledged.  As a new steward, you are a beacon of faith, lighting the path for others, and helping our church grow stronger for generations to come.  Your gift sustains the life of our parish, nurtures the community, and ensures that the flame of our Orthodox faith burns brightly into the future.

Together, with God's grace, we can fulfill our mission and keep His light shining in our church and beyond.  Thank you for your continued love, faith, and generosity.

To help the parish council and the office, please identify what year your stewardship donations are going towards.

2025 THEOPHANY HOUSE BLESSINGS - Please sign up by filling out the form here or calling the office.

Houses are traditionally blessed with Holy Water each year bringing the blessings of the Holy Water that is sanctified on the Feast of Theophany, the celebration of our Lord's baptism.  The priest brings this Holy Water into the home to personally bless each family member by renewing the awareness of God's presence in our homes.  A house can be blessed at any time, bu the usual season for annual blessings is in conjunction with the feast of Theophany.

It is preferable that house blessings should be scheduled when the entire family will be present, if possible.

Fr. Anastasios will be visiting many different areas and will organize the house blessings as best possible to fit one after the other.

COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE - We are looking for members who are interested in helping us bolster our Social Media presence, our Website, and other communications.  Please talk to Fr. Anastasios, Connie, or Raina if you are interested.

PARISH PLEDGES $20,000 FOR THE NEW METROPOLIS CENTER  If you would like to add your own personal donation or pledge to the completion of the New Metropolis Center, please go to pittsburgh.goarch.org/pledge .

SUNDAY SCHOOL: The spiritual and religious education for our children is not only the 20-minute class following holy communion, it is attending each and every Sunday, hearing the hymns of the day, the readings for the day, Fr. Anastasios' kids' sermon, and worshipping alongside their family and community.  Their formation also takes place in the home and in the example led by their parents, fortify yourself for the journey by coming to church too.

YOUTH SAFETY - Please register at https://ncsrisk.org/goarch/.  This includes all Youth Safety Workers as well as Parish Council 

PRAYER CHAIN - Members of Holy Trinity are being brought together in efforts to pray for those in need of prayers.  Please contact Joanie Ondrako at 724-601-6298, Fr. Anastasios, or the Office to join the prayer team, a group of people who will pray for the names given each day.

Prayer requests can be submitted anonymously and will be on the prayer list as long as your request is wanted, even up to a year.

ONLINE GIVING & STEWARDSHIP: Is OPEN! Online giving can be found by clicking here!  Please consider your continued support of our church through becoming one of our online giving families.  You can make general contributions and stewardship contributions.

REGULAR GIVING: The church is still accepting donations in normal ways through the mail and drop-off.  Thank you to all of those who have continued to contribute in these challenging times.

YOU CAN NOW DONATE SECURITIES TO THE CHURCH  

In response to inquiries regarding the donation of securities to Holy Trinity, a new brokerage account has been established with PNC Investments to receive stocks, bonds, and mutual funds.  Donating appreciated securities is often preferable to donating cash as the donor may benefit from the current tax code, creating the opportunity for donors to consider even larger gifts.  Currently, this account can receive securities in lieu of cash for the fulfillment of stewardship pledges as well as directed gifts for special projects.  If after consulting with your financial advisor, you are interested in this form of giving, please contact any parish council member or the office for more information.

LIVE-STREAM: If you don't have a Facebook account, don't worry: it does not force you to log in.
