Reply to comment by hiomiojo in Churches offering baptism in Pittsburgh to non parishioners? by [deleted]

I do not know how Catholics prep a family for baptism - but if I were you and I had family going to a parish in town, I’d seek to baptize there.

If you are looking to try something different (maybe you don’t dig Catholicism or want a non-male priest or something) I’d recommend you check into the churches closest to you that are a part of one of the following denominations:

  • Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
  • The Episcopal Church
  • Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
  • United Methodist Church

All of these denominations are “mainline” (generally middle-of-the-road and nonextremist) Protestant and baptize infants.

All churches will want a good faith meeting with you and the other parent if they are involved, and would expect to you to commit to raise your child in the Christian faith. No one will ask for money, and frankly a lot of families do just come in for a baptism at a church and are never seen again except the rare Christmas service.

Reply to Buying a house in Shadow Shuttle PA? by iRagnarox

The shadow shuttle plan of homes in penn hills is one of the nicest and most secluded sections of penn hills.

Particularly along westward ho drive and dixie drive.

Further along you have have gramac lane which is a private drive and those people will absolutely 100% kick you out unless you have business there. Mansions and estates , etc.

I definitely feel like I'm not even in penn hills whenever I'm back there.
