Kaitlyn Salmon, a 2016 graduate from Thomas Jefferson High School, has penned her first book, a Bible Study Guide titled, “The Ministry Of Touch: A Psychological Analysis Of Touch In Jesus' Ministry.”

The St. Louise de Marillac Catholic School Boys 8th grade Varsity Basketball team defeated St. Kilian School in the championship game of the Class A Diocesan playoffs 54-49 to finish the season as the undefeated Class A South Section and Diocesan champions. As the Diocesan champions, the team qualified to represent the Pittsburgh Diocesan in the boys basketball Varsity State playoff tournament, which unfortunately was canceled this season due to COVID. Congratulations to all the players and coaches on an outstanding season!

"I think there's something deep in our core about singing together," says Jennie Nolan, and that's why she serves as director of the South Hills Children's Choir.  "The purpose of the choir is to give all kinds of kids from all kinds of life experiences a chance to come together and find something that unifies them, and it gives them a chance to creatively express themselves through singing," she added.  As a result, they develop better singing skills, better understanding of how music works, and a great sense of community.
