DEAR FRIENDS:
3rd WEEK OF ADVENT ALREADY: We light the third Advent candle, the pink one, this week. We are close to celebrating Jesus’ birth. I think it is beautiful to look at the Baby with the out-stretched arms in the manger and then look to Christ with outstretched arms on the Cross - the same one, the same one. Why? Because His love for me abounds and is beyond all telling. These are powerful and prayerful days.

Welcome to St. Paul of the Cross Monastery in the historic South Side neighborhood of Pittsburgh, PA. We hope the monastery can become for you a place where you can experience God’s love.

Retreat Center

Paul of the Cross, founder of the Passionists, always wished his monasteries to be places of hospitality. The same applies for our retreat center. We have a variety of retreats for men, women, mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and many day events as well.
