Our Mission

Our Parish Mission is to continue the work of Christ together, as a faith community, through the celebration of the Sacraments, living spiritually in the world, and working to be caring members of the community. As committed Catholics, we are sent to bear the Light of Christ to transform the world by our devotion, service, and witness.

Come! Connect your faith with the world you live in!

Since 1907, the people of St. Scholastica have joined together to form a multi-generational Parish serving Aspinwall, Pennsylvania and the surrounding neighborhoods. The Parish respects and adheres to the teachings and traditions of the Church while striving to evolve to remain a strong and vibrant resource for all of God’s people.

Our Parish’s namesake, Saint Scholastica, was a sixth century Catholic nun and mystic. She was said to have been extraordinarily devoted to Christ and to her brother, Saint Benedict. Saint Gregory the Great noted that Saint Scholastica and her brother had such remarkable devotion because their minds were “ever united in the Lord.”

What a wonderful example for our Parish community!
