The Diocese of Pittsburgh is updating its COVID guidance.
Bishop David Zubik posted a letter encouraging parishioners to get vaccinated and wear masks indoors. Also, now all ministers, ushers, greeters, and servers must wear masks while engaging with others.
Zubik added that the requirement to attend mass will still go into effect this weekend, but those who are sick or at-risk are still exempt.
The Diocese also extended allowing masses to be held outdoors.
