St. Edward Church

What St. Edward Church does

St. Edward Parish is a Catholic parish operating as a Pennsylvania charitable trust under the Diocese of Greensburg, located at 120 Saint Edward Lane in Herminie, Pennsylvania. The parish serves nearly 700 registered households in Herminie and the surrounding Westmoreland County area, delivering full sacramental ministry (Baptism, Reconciliation, Eucharist, Confirmation, Marriage, Anointing of the Sick, and Holy Orders), daily and weekend Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, Reconciliation, and faith formation programs including the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). It is led by Pastor Rev. David J. Nazimek and Deacon Rev. Mr. Robert Stauffer.

The parish's technology stack is conventional church SaaS: a WordPress website (saint-edward.org), the myParish mobile app for iOS and Android, an online giving platform delivered through Our Sunday Visitor (osvhub.com), and diocesan portals myHALO and Vine for parish administration and communication. Marketing and engagement channels include the website, a YouTube channel, a Facebook page (StEdwardHerminie), weekly bulletins, and the parish app. Beyond spiritual services, the parish operates a Food Pantry coordinated through the St. Vincent de Paul Society that serves approximately 150 families monthly and runs a senior home-delivered-meals program in partnership with the Westmoreland County Area Agency on Aging.

The parish's revenue model is donation-driven rather than transactional. Primary inflows are weekly and monthly tithes and offerings collected at Mass, supplemented by recurring online donations through the OSV platform and annual giving campaigns including the 2026 Diocesan Lenten Appeal (DLA2026). The parish is not investor-backed; it is sustained by parishioner contributions and is governed under the spiritual and administrative authority of the Diocese of Greensburg. Operating geographies are limited to Pennsylvania, with no disclosed international footprint.
