Saint Anne's Bereavement Ministry offers support in a group environment to those who have experienced the loss of a loved one. Our Christ centered ministry meets in the Spring and the Fall for 7 consecutive weeks to explore the impact of grief on our minds, bodies and souls as well as our relationships with others. Knowing that grief is different for every person experiencing it, support is very individual and personal. Please contact Kathy Raimondi for more information or to register.

Join us on the third Tuesday of each month to prepare brown bag lunches for the hungry poor of downtown Pittsburgh. Established in 1930, the Red Door of Saint Mary of Mercy Church in the heart of Pittsburgh, serves those who are poor and hungry with coats, clothes, and bagged lunches. Because this ministry relies solely on the generousity of our parish members and friends for support, we welcome non-parishable food donations such as peanut butter, jelly, pre-packaged snacks, and Giant Eagle gift cards as well as assistance with bagging the lunches. All are welcome! Contact Kerry Boehner with questions.

The Substance Addiction Ministry (SAM) at Saint Anne Parish seeks to provide a Catholic response to the spiritual disease of addiction by serving as a bridge to God’s grace and healing. Recognizing that anyone suffering the effects of addiction, including family members and friends, deserves the prayers, love and support of our parish community, SAM seeks to provide healing, acceptance, and understanding.

There are three aspects to the ministry: “Prayer, Presentations, and Personal Presence”. Prayer:  please join us on the third Tuesday of each month when a Rosary for Recovery is prayed in the church beginning at 5:45pm. Presentations: on a quarterly basis SAM sponsors talks by experts in the field of addiction and recovery. Personal Presence: SAM will provide support, accompaniment and understanding so those who are affected will realize they are not alone.
