DeMarillac Guild
It is my pleasure to invite all women of the parish to participate in the DeMarillac Guild for the coming 2011-2012 year. We have an enormous indebtedness to all those ladies who served today along with the pioneer ladies who organized and were responsible for the formulation of this powerful organization.

A group of parishioners from St. Louise de Marillac Church and local area sewers have joined together to create Dignity Robes - specially designed robes for women undergoing the rigorous and exhausting courses of radiation treatments associated with breast cancer.

Our Parish has been engaged in an apostolic outreach to refugees who have been brought to Pittsburgh by Catholic Charities and now reside in Castle Shannon at Alvern Gardens. The refugee community there is comprised mainly of Bhutanese, Burmese, Russian, Turkish and Iraqi families who have been resettled in the United States because of the persecution they suffer in their homelands.
