Michelle Peduto Lighting the Way Scholarship

We have been deeply moved by the outpouring of love and support following the passing of our recently retired Superintendent of Catholic Schools, Michelle Peduto. Many of you have asked how you can honor her memory, and in response, we are humbled to announce the establishment of The Michelle Peduto Lighting the Way Scholarship for Catholic Education. 

This scholarship will continue Michelle’s legacy of love by supporting students who share her passion for faith, service, and learning. Your contributions will help provide the gift of Catholic education to those who embody the values that Michelle championed throughout her life through the Saint Anthony Program, the Extra Mile Education Foundation, and Catholic Education in the Diocese of Pittsburgh.

Those who wish to contribute may mail checks made out to Michelle Peduto Lighting the Way Scholarship Fund to the attention of Dolores Nypaver, Director of Stewardship, 2900 Noblestown Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15205 or donate below.

Thank you for keeping Michelle’s family, friends, and loved ones in your prayers. Together, through this scholarship in her name, we can help her light continue to shine in the lives of the students and families she cared for so deeply.

Michelle Peduto, former diocesan superintendent of Catholic Schools who served from 2019-2024
