On May 8th, 2020 the Diocese of Pittsburgh Announces Plans for the Gradual Reopening of Churches which indicates:
- All previous directives remain in effect.
- Limited funeral Masses and weddings continue, with cleaning/sanitizing guidelines in place, expanding to groups of no more than 25 people.
- Churches will be permitted to open for private prayer with safety guidelines in place including seating in designated areas only, the use of masks, hand sanitizers, and social distancing.
- Churches open for Confessions – Confessionals do not meet public health safety requirements, and as such, Confessions will be heard at posted times and in a manner that preserves the sanctity of the. Sacrament. Penitents must practice social distancing and all other safety guidelines.
- Livestream Masses and prayer services will continue.
