Benedictine Sisters

The Benedictine Sisters of Pittsburgh, established in 1870, emerged during a tumultuous period in American history, responding to the needs of German immigrant communities for education and support. Initially sent to serve in Johnstown, the Sisters quickly became integral to the local community, opening schools and providing essential services amidst the challenges of the Gilded Age.

Over the years, the Sisters expanded their mission, relocating to Carrolltown and later to Pittsburgh, where they continued to focus on education and community service. Their commitment to the well-being of their communities remains a cornerstone of their mission, fostering growth and support for those in need.
