We make it our goal to care for students, families, and faculty before, during, and after school. Day-in-and-day-out, we are committed to the academic, physical, and emotional health of the entire Catholic school community here in the Diocese of Pittsburgh.

The Diocese of Pittsburgh has built a dedicated team of sworn police officers who oversee security for schools, parishes, and church-related events. Led by Wendell Hissrich, Director of Safety and Security, this team has expanded diocesan strategies for responding to safety threats that have been growing nationwide. Supported by state and federal security grants, the Office for Safety and Security advances initiatives that safeguard students, faculty, and families in all diocesan schools.

• The diocesan Department for Safety & Security consists of 32 staff members, including 21 full-time security officers, six part-time security officers, and three regional supervisors.

• Each officer hired by the diocese has a minimum of 10 years of law enforcement experience with the average being 25 years.
• All security staff members complete approximately 40 hours of training annually on a variety of topics including first aid/CPR, de-escalation, active shooter, and firearms qualification. 

St. Anthony’s is an inclusive educational program for students ages 5-21 with Down syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder and other special needs.

Founded in 1908 by the Diocese of Pittsburgh and the Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill, DePaul School for Hearing and Speech has been providing quality Listening and Spoken Language (LSL) education for children who are deaf or hard of hearing for more than 100 years. 

It teaches children (infants-8^th grade) who are deaf/hard of hearing or have speech and language disorders (ex: apraxia).
