Sister Marguerite Moya Coyne, who served as the superintendent of schools for the Catholic Diocese of Greensburg from 1998 to 2003, was known for her love of children and education, her friends and co-workers said.
“She was a stellar woman and one of the best persons I’ve ever worked with,” said Monsignor James Gaston, who was director of education and spiritual formation when Coyne was associate superintendent of Catholic schools in the Greensburg diocese.
Coyne, 80, a member of the Congregation of St. Joseph of Baden, died Thursday, Jan. 14, 2021, in Baden.

Catholic school students and parishioners in the Catholic Diocese of Greensburg are helping to make the holidays a bit brighter for those hospitalized and cannot see their loved ones due to Coronavirus concerns.
Students and parishioners donated nearly 1000 gifts along with many Christmas cards to four hospitals in the diocese, including Indiana Regional Medical Center and hospitals in Greensburg, Kittanning and Uniontown. The gifts include rosaries, blankets, pocket prayer shawls, prayer cards and scapulars that have been blessed by the new Bishop-elect Larry J. Kulick.
The effort was made possible through two outreach efforts in the diocese: One of those a request for aid by Diocesan Mission Director Anthony J. Carbone and the other is the Christmas Care Card project which involved 800 Catholic school students as part of the Pope John Paul II Tuition Opportunity Partnership.

Pastor Dan Borchert of the New Stanton Alliance Church knew he had to get creative if he wanted to include everybody in this year’s Christmas Eve service.
Before Thursday’s traditional service, Borchert is hosting a drive-in service where people can pull up to the church, sing Christmas carols and discuss the meaning of the holiday. The event begins at 4 p.m. and will last about a half hour. The traditional service will begin at 7 p.m.
“There are people that are just not comfortable being inside with everybody right now and I get that,” Borchert said. “So, I didn’t want them to miss out on a chance to be with the church on Christmas Eve.”
