It was very hot, because it's kind of in a hole & the rubber radiates the heat like crazy! They're doing some major construction on the HS, so some of the entrances are blocked off, but you can get in from the back park entrance. The park next door is very nice & shaded & a good place to escape the heat.

This is a fantastic school system…read more I have three students in the system: two at Jefferson Middle and one at the High School. I am very pleased with the leadership, the facilities, the programs (especially fine-arts/music), and especially the TEACHERS. These are professional teachers. They are dedicated, they treat my kids with respect, and they set great examples. They often show up at after-hours extracurricular-events, something they are not paid to do and do not have to do, but in doing so, help the kids feel what they are doing matters and is important. My family chose Mt. Lebanon among pretty much all Pittsburgh-area communities (via corp. relo) expressly because of the research we did on schools. We have not been disappointed. In fact, my experience so far (two years in) has exceeded my expectations.

Everyone at St. Catherine's really makes you feel welcome. The pastor is very nice, friendly and he always gives insightful homilies. What I really love about St. Catherine's is they are really accommodating, to which there is a Spanish mass at 1pm on Sundays and they also have a room in the back for unruly children. The charming choir performs every week during Sunday 11am mass. In the summer, usually the first week of August, they hold a church festival with games and food. It's not that large but it's fun for all members of the family. A thing to note: you must get the homemade fried zucchini at their annual festival because it is delicious! I've been going to St. Catherine's for many years and although it's not fancy, it is definitely one of my favorite churches in Pittsburgh.

The priests are so nice and personable and always make a point to greet the parishioners after mass, even during inclement weather. The 2 main priests are also very engaging and make mass interesting. Unlike some other Catholic Churches that I have attended through the years, they are also very welcoming to non-parishioners as well. Another thing that was different from any other church that I have attended was that when i first joined about 4 years ago, they had a welcoming cocktail and appetizer party for all new members. It was a nice chance to get to know then clergy, other fellow new members and also many current active younger adult members were in attendance too.
