VICTORY!!!
On Tuesday, July 28, 2009 the St. Charles Lwanga Parish held a local community action to address the drug dealing in Homewood-Brushton along Brushton Ave near Bennett St.

To read about the action in the New Pittsburgh Courier click here.
As a result, the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police will:
-Increase their presence along the Brushton Ave corridor beginning Saturday, August 1, 2009.
-Require officers to do a "park & walk" along the Brushton Ave corridor each shift, daily, starting Saturday, August 1, 2009.
-Focus their resourses to specifically combat the drug dealing in the Brushton area.
This couldn't have happened without the support of those who were in attendance and the St. Charles Lwanga Parish PIIN core team who worked tirelessly to be proactive in an effort to address the issue by putting on the action as part of the Holy Ground Campaign.
