All Saints Parish is Born!
As of July 1, we are All Saints Parish!
All Saints was created by the merger of St. Andrew, St. Fidelis of Sigmaringen, St. Michael the Archangel, St. Paul, and St. Peter parishes in Butler.
Although we have a new parish name, we will continue to refer to the five church buildings that we use for worship by their consecrated names:
St. Andrew, St. Conrad, St. Michael the Archangel, St. Paul, and St. Peter.
A parish is a geographic territory composed of people; a church is a sacred building designated for the gathering of people to worship God.
In our new logo, the "saints" are symbolized by a halo around the top of the cross. A white circle behind the cross symbolizes the Precious Body of Christ (host) as well as the light of a bright sun. The cross is made of triangles to symbolize the Trinity.
We celebrated the merger with Evening Prayer followed by a reception on Friday, July 2 at St. Conrad Church. Click here for photos.

Father Kevin's Message

Bulletin Message for September 19, 2021
Thank You & Great Joy
Thank you to everyone who attended, watched, and helped organize Bishop Zubik’s visit to Butler to install me as pastor of All Saints Parish last Sunday.
It gives me great joy to know that I will be in Butler for at least six years. With your help – and by the grace of God – we will till the soil and plant the seeds of the Good News of Jesus Christ to every person that God places in our lives!
Festa Italia
Please stop by Festa Italia 2021 for “dine in” or takeout at St. Michael the Archangel Hall on next Sunday, September 26, from noon until 6pm. Although the Festa activities are scaled down this year, the food is not. Come by to enjoy a delicious spaghetti and meatball dinner along with tasty desserts!
Grow in Holiness
One of our prayers and goals of every day should be to stay healthy in mind, body, soul, and relationships, and to grow in holiness.
I pray for you daily.
Yours in Christ,
Rev. Kevin C. Fazio

Medicare Recipients Participate in Healthy Church Challenge!
The Healthy Church Challenge began Sunday, Aug. 29!
This challenge is a free health and wellness program designed to help Medicare beneficiaries reach their personal health goals and lead a healthy lifestyle.
Once you sign up, you will be given a participant number. Use this number when you sign in to fill out your online Weekly Activity Log atupmchp.us/challenge-log (activity log)
If you do not have a computer, paper registration forms are available in all of our churches and in the St. Paul and St. Conrad offices. They should be dropped off or mailed to the St. Paul or St. Conrad offices.
Details about the program can be found in this brochure:Healthy Church Challenge Brochure
Over eight weeks -- from Sunday, Aug. 29, to Sunday, Oct. 24 -- participants will have the opportunity to complete healthy activities, track their progress, and attend free online wellness events and exercise classes.
We registered each of our five churches separately and will receive $800 per church just for registering for a total of $4,000.
Participants earn points for staying active and making healthy choices. Activity points are awarded based on the difficulty of each activity and the time spent completing it. For instance, 20 minutes of walking equals 1 point; 20 minutes of jumping rope equals 3 points. The more time participants spend being active, the more points they earn.
Bonus points will be awarded for making healthy choices, such as joining a gym, getting preventive screenings, doing telehealth visits, or eating a balanced breakfast.
Points are summed up throughout the challenge and participants can unlock prize levels by reaching point targets by the end of the challenge. Additionally, the person with the highest number of points per week gets a $25 gift card. You can win a maximum of three $25 gift cards during the challenge.
The average number of points your team earns each week is added to the church total. At the end of the challenge, the team with the highest number of points wins its church an additional $1,000. Second place receives $500, and third place receives $250.

News from Our Parish

Did Anything Change When We Merged?
All Saints Offertory Envelopes
All Saints offertory envelopes recently were mailed out – they are the same for all five churches.
The packets include envelopes for the weekly offertory, Parish Share, holy days, and diocesan second collections. Once a month, you will receive a “Feed the Hungry” envelope, the proceeds of which will be distributed to food pantries and community meals.
You will receive quarterly envelopes for St. Vincent de Paul and Ladies of Charity. Both organizations are dedicated to helping people in need.
If you do not receive a packet of envelopes – or received duplicate packets – please contact Business Administrative Assistant Kelly Livermore at 724-287-1759 ext. 124.
Please make out all checks to All Saints Parish.
All Saints Online Giving
We are working toward creating one online giving site for All Saints Parish.
The site will be managed by Vanco, which provides online payment processing solutions and software.
Currently, St. Andrew and St. Conrad churches' online giving is handled through Vanco; the three city parishes’ online giving is handled through Our Sunday Visitor.
The All Saints site will be available after the July 1 merger date. Keep checking the bulletin and website for the latest information.
All Saints Banking
All Saints banking will be handled through NexTier Bank.
Our staff has worked over the past few months to close the various accounts at different banks that served our five churches.
All Saints Parish Share – It’s a Little Different
As we merge our five parishes’ records into one database, it creates an unusual situation for Parish Share.
We need to create a Jan. 1-June 30 statement for your contributions to your current parish (St. Andrew, St. Fidelis, St. Michael, St. Paul, or St. Peter) and then we will need to create a new Parish Share file for each account under the All Saints Parish name.
Those who have already paid off their Parish Share pledge should not notice the difference.
If you are continuing to pay off your pledge, you will notice a NEW pledge amount on the monthly reminder card that you receive in the mail. This NEW pledge amount reflects the remaining balance on your original pledge as of July 1. Because of the many changes with the merger, some June Parish Share donations will not be posted until July.
At the end of the year, you will get two contribution statements. The first statement will reflect your contributions to your current parish. The second statement will reflect contributions to All Saints Parish.
We know this can be confusing. If you have questions about your account, please contact Business Administrative Assistant Kelly Livermore at 724-287-1759 ext. 124.All Saints Communication
Website: The new AllSaintsButler.org website launched July 1.
Bulletin: The July 4 bulletin – the first published after the merger – features a redesign.
Logo: The new All Saints logo is featured on the website and cover of the bulletin.
All Saints Signs
Temporary banners are hung at all five churches to welcome everyone to All Saints Parish; each sign notes the name of the church at that site. Permanent signage will be added later.All Saints Database
We have consolidated our five churches’ databases into one database that shows we have more than 3,500 families in All Saints Parish.
The database contains names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, sacramental information and contribution records.
