Welcome!

We are Empowering Catholics of Pittsburgh (ECOP), a grassroots group of devout but disheartened local Catholics committed to healing the Church of Pittsburgh. We believe that the best way for there to be accountability of diocesan leadership is for the priests, deacons, and laity to work together.
