The Diocese of Pittsburgh is joining other Catholic bishops in Pennsylvania in reinstating the obligation to attend mass weekly and on Holy Days starting Aug. 15, 2021

Bishop David Zubik said via release that “more and more people are returning to our churches” since public health restrictions have been relaxed and so many people are vaccinated. Zubik also said that while the obligation is being re-instated if you are ill he strongly encourages you to stay home.
In March 2020, bishops across the state issued a notice suspending that obligation to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
