“Twenty million dollars at least,” said Maureen Marsteller, the Superintendent of Catholic Schools.

Catholic school students and parishioners in the Catholic Diocese of Greensburg are helping to make the holidays a bit brighter for those hospitalized and cannot see their loved ones due to Coronavirus concerns.
Students and parishioners donated nearly 1000 gifts along with many Christmas cards to four hospitals in the diocese, including Indiana Regional Medical Center and hospitals in Greensburg, Kittanning and Uniontown. The gifts include rosaries, blankets, pocket prayer shawls, prayer cards and scapulars that have been blessed by the new Bishop-elect Larry J. Kulick.
The effort was made possible through two outreach efforts in the diocese: One of those a request for aid by Diocesan Mission Director Anthony J. Carbone and the other is the Christmas Care Card project which involved 800 Catholic school students as part of the Pope John Paul II Tuition Opportunity Partnership.
