Adult Small Groups:

Small Groups began as a continuation of the Alpha program, but are open to any Saint Aidan adult parishioner, family member, friend or neighbor. You do not have to have participated in Alpha to become a member of a small group. Small groups share their faith journey with one another and meet on a weekly basis for about 90 minutes. There are day, evening and weekend options. Groups may meet on the parish campus or in the home of a host parishioner. For more information, please contact [email protected]. 

Disciple Quads:

A Discipleship Quad is a group of four people who journey together as disciples through weekly gatherings of fellowship, ongoing conversion, and learning. This 12-month path of accompaniment fosters growth through prayer, accountability, and authentic relationships. Developed at Franciscan University of Steubenville, it is a process for discipleship formation and helping disciples make other disciples that address challenges Catholics face today.

Gold Club:

Gold Club members are faith-filled, family-oriented, young-at-heart Seniors who gather for spiritual, social and service activities; spiritual is primary. We meet for Mass, food and fellowship; we outreach to youth & shut-ins. For more information, e-mail Maureen Kelly at [email protected]. 

Men’s Fellowship:

The Men's Fellowship provides a forum for adult learning about the Catholic faith to become more effective apostles (husbands, fathers, friends, co-workers). The meetings are facilitated discussions on the teachings of the Church. We meet on Monday night from 6 PM to 7:30 PM. Presently we are meeting virtually. Pre-COVID we met in the cafeteria of the Blessed Seelos School and followed up our formal meeting with a fellowship event at a nearby local restaurant for those who could attend. Contact: Paul Spence at [email protected]. 

Men’s and Women’s Retreat:

Men’s and Women’s Retreat Groups each attend an annual weekend retreat during January at Saint Paul of the Cross Retreat Center on the South Side of Pittsburgh. Each year, the weekend retreat focuses on a different theme upon which the various conferences, workshops and reflections are centered. For more information regarding the Men’s Retreat, please contact Ed Thomas or Mark Prybl at [email protected]. For more information regarding the Women’s Retreat, please contact Mary Ann Sembrat, Eileen Minnock, or Mary Evers at [email protected]. 
 

Prayer Ministry:

Prayer Ministry was designed to accommodate urgent/critical prayer requests, for such reasons as chain in motion. Prayer ministry members are contacted by phone and/or e-mail with the prayer request. The time commitment for prayer ministry members is their own personal daily prayer commitment. For more information, please contact Barb Busi, Norma Heyl, or Jo Labrise at [email protected].
