St.
Gregory Church grew from a mission where the Divine Liturgy was
celebrated on Sundays in the South Hills Knights of Columbus Hall
to a parish serving families from Bethel Park, Bridgeville, Castle
Shannon, Mt. Lebanon, Scott Township, Upper St. Clair and Peters
Township. Two years passed from that first Divine Liturgy celebrated
on May 2, 1971, when a small nucleus of faithful petitioned Archbishop
Stephen Kocisko to form a parish community in the South Hills
of Pittsburgh. The first pastor assigned to St. Gregory was Rev.
David Witkowski.
A two year search for suitable land resulted in the current site
of 4.3 acres at 2040 Washington Road in Upper St. Clair. On August
12, 1973 ground was broken for the first phase of the parish plant.
Construction of a basement-like concrete block structure was completed
in 1976. This became known as the lower church.
As the parish grew, construction began in the Spring of 1983 on
a second floor which is the location of the current church sanctuary.
This phase was completed with the solemn dedication and blessing
on Sunday, September 14, 1986.
In November of 1995 the congregation returned to the basement
of the building for services during major renovation of the upper
church. This year long project included replacement of the roof,
installation of a new dome, new interior drywall, wiring and lighting,
new pews and carpeting, and the creation of a chapel for the daily
celebration of the Liturgy. At the same time, arrangements were
made for the design of the altars and iconography. Later in 1996
the church interior was painted and the major icon behind the
main altar was installed. Two years later in 1998 the icon screen
was installed.
The church community has a strong Eastern Christian Formation
program, an active Men’s Club, a GCU Lodge and many volunteers
for numerous parish projects. A number of parishioners are also
members of the Pittsburgh Byzantine Serra Club. |
