On Sunday, October 14, 2018, with the implementation of On Mission for the Church Alive.  The parish renewal campaign for the Diocese of Pittsburgh, Friar Alexis Anania, OFM and Friar John-Michael Pinto, OFM, completed their ministry at St. Pamphilus Church in the Beechview section of Pittsburgh.  The parish was established in 1960 and has been staffed by the friars of our province for 58 years.  St. Pamphilus now becomes part of the Beechview/Brookline Parish Grouping, consisting of St. Catherine of Siena Church in Beechview, and Our Lady of Loreto, St. Pius X, and Resurrection Parishes, all in Brookline.  The new parish will be staffed by priests of the Diocese.  The new amalgamated parish will, in the future, decided what buildings it will need to adequately continue its ministry.
