Seven-Church Pilgrimage: Holy Doors (Week 3)

Our third church on the pilgrimage
When you enter the church pictured below you are immediately struck by the simple beauty of the sanctuary. Wooden Stations of the Cross surround the large worship space, sharing the limelight with rectangular stained glass windows, which were designed in modern style. Traditional statues summon the visitor to quiet prayer and reverence.

This is the third stop on our Seven-Church Pilgrimage taking place on Holy Thursday following the Mass of the Lord’s Supper. Can you guess the church? Call in your answer to Ginny Ambrose at the rectory (412-264-6162 Ext. 24) or e-mail her.

The church pictured in last week’s article was Saint Philip Church in Crafton. Many called in to name the correct church. I guess there was no mistaking those holy doors!

In the front vestibule of Saint Joseph is a poster depicting the churches that we will be visiting. It’s time to call the rectory to reserve your place on the bus. Cost is $5 per person. Join us in prayer and song on this journey of faith.
