Clergy are no longer engaged community citizens, leading on issues of social concern and change. Gone are the days when guest speakers moved us to think and act on Sunday mornings. Gone are the days when children's voices flooded the halls. This church has become almost lazy -- relying on providing space to community organizations and labeling it "outreach." The leaders of this church used to be national figures, whose voices carried weight and whose opinions commanded respect. They wrote on issues of concern and acted when others did not. Sadly, this is not the Calvary Church of previous decades, as beautiful as the structure may be. Of course, just my opinion.

My father-in-law grew up in this neighborhood and attended this church since birth. He built his…read morehome across the street and attended mass every morning before he started his work day as a roofer. For many years, when the church struggled financially he did all their roofing repairs for free and did so gladly. When they ran a financial campaign to raise funds for big improvements they gave the roofing job to a big roofing company, which I thought was sad, but he never gave that a thought. He just really loved his church and his faith. I was not raised catholic but when we married I chose to offer having a priest come to my church to help cement our marriage vowels and to respect my husband's parents. Despite swearing I would never have a family member sign a form stating I had never been married previously and having to attend those useless marriage classes, I was forced to do so and I agreed. The Sunday before my wedding my mother-in-law told me that the bulletin announced the priest who was to officiate at our wedding the next weekend was moved to another church. I spent 4 days trying to get the Diocese tell me who was going to take our vovels and finally I spoke with a priest who made it clear he did not want to do our wedding but was doing so under duress. He came to the church, never spoke to us, and left without a word. I guess it served me right for thinking I was being respectful to my in-laws since their faith was so very important to them, but very disappointing that the church and the Diocese thought so little of us that they couldn't even be bothered to notify us of this important change. We still attend the bizarre every year despite how the Diocese screwed over the church and the community by forcing them to take on a stupid name and then stealing all the funds they had raised to keep their school operating for the families and the neighborhood. The church still tries to be strong despite the lack of positive support by the Diocese. They even moved the church office out of the neighborhood. Makes me glad I never chose to change my faith when I married. But, again, the church is a lovely building in a beautiful neighborhood filled with kind, faithful parishioners.

I stopped by with CM to check out the fish fry last night. When we got together for an impromptu…read moredate, a friend's check in at another fish fry reminded me that (1) it was Fri.-- fish fry day! and (2) I seemed to recall this was the day of St. Regis's fish fry, which, unlike other fish fries, is not offered every Fri. in Lent. Upon confirming this with the handy-dandy PGH fish fry map, we headed over to check it out. Neither of us had been to a fish fry before, but I'd been to other Catholic church fundraisers (carnivals, bazaars, etc.), and it worked similarly. The event is held in the church social hall, which is around back on Childs St., and was well-signed. You go in, give them your order, pay, and then pick it up, with the whole process taking maybe 10 min. max. The volunteers were very friendly and pretty efficient, despite some of them being older. The prices have gone up a bit since 2013 (presumably due to the cost of fish), but are still quite reasonable, esp. for the amount of food. CM and I both ordered the fried fish dinner for take out, which consisted of a fried fish sandwich, coleslaw, fries, and chocolate cake. Most everything was excellent--the fish was nice and crispy, the roll was high quality and didn't fall apart (my pet peeve with fish sandwiches), the coleslaw was crisp and not soggy, and the cake was moist. The only item that I was less than impressed with was the fries, which were of the frozen crinkle cut variety, and were soft, lacking a crisp exterior. Had it been available, I would have ordered mac and cheese instead of fries, but they were out at the time that we visited (5pm). For our take out orders, they wrapped the fish in foil separately from the roll so that it didn't become soggy in transport. Our bag also contained ketchup packets, but no mayo or tartar sauce, and no napkins or utensils, which would have been nice to have. Overall, we were very pleased with the quality of the food, esp. for the price (total check: $20). While I'm tempted to award a 5 star rating, the non-crispy fries and lack of mac and cheese and utensils and condiments prevent me from doing so. Nevertheless, this is a great fish fry to check out during Lent if you're able to catch it (no pun intended)!

This review relates specifically to the St. Regis Fish Fry, and not actually any of their church…read moreservices, which I haven't attended. Somehow, despite living just a few streets over in South Oakland through six years of college and grad school at Pitt, I never realized that St. Regis does a Lenten fish fry (or they may have just started doing it recently). I went this afternoon for some fish sandwiches for lunch. First of all, the volunteers at the fish fry are so nice. Everyone was friendly and chatty, and super helpful. Apparently, St. Regis is a bilingual church, so there were menus in English and Spanish, and people who spoke both to assist. Second, the food was just awesome. The fish sandwiches are huge and come separated if you order them to-go, so that way your bread isn't soggy by the time you get it home. The breading is so sweet and buttery in flavor, but surprisingly light-feeling. Each fish sandwich comes with a little cup of juicy/crispy coleslaw, a pile of tartar and ketchup packets, a can of pop AND two cookies for dessert! All of this was only $6 per serving. We also got a tray of their pierogies, which are available for $5 a dozen in a variety of 5-6 stuffings. The pierogies are Gosia's, so not made in-house, but still a homemade, local institution. We haven't cooked them up yet, but it is something we are looking forward to. This year, I'm trying to break out of my comfort zone of going to St. Veronica's (now Good Samaritan) in Ambridge for a fish fry, and I'm glad I checked out St. Regis. There's ample street parking in the afternoon, too, if you park up on Parkview and walk down the steps to the cafeteria (the fish fry is the open door on the Childs St. entrance). I highly recommend checking them out!
