Dear Brothers in Christ,

As we approach the beginning of a New Year, we are being called, again, to observe what is going on around us with COVID-19.  I am grateful that I can rely on you to do all in your power to respond and provide a safe environment for the faithful who come and celebrate the Mass and other sacraments in your parish.

Members of my staff are receiving an increasing number of calls and emails from parishioners who either:


  1.  Express concern over a lack of compliance in some of our parishes to our published diocesan COVID-19 safety protocols.
  2.  Urge me to issue a mask mandate for all of our diocesan parishes.

Although I am not issuing a mask mandate at this time, I am writing to issue an urgent  reminder to adhere to the COVID protocols already put in place.  You received the protocols from me again in a Clergy Update I sent to you before Christmas.

Please note that a news release is being sent to the media today on this matter.  A copy is enclosed.

Also attached to this email is a parish announcement which I ask to be read before each Mass celebrated in your parish this weekend. Please also share that announcement through your websites, bulletins, social media accounts, and all other channels of communication that you have established with your parishioners.

Also, out of an abundance of caution, if you are not feeling well, I ask that you refrain from participating in the public celebration of Mass.

There is a continued need to remain vigilant and to do our part to help to mitigate the spread of the virus.  In doing so, we are, in fact, respecting human life and doing all that we can to protect the health of the faithful.

As always, you are in my prayers.  I ask that I remain in yours. May you have a happy and healthy beginning to 2022.

Grateful for our belief that “Nothing is Impossible with God,” I am

Your brother in Christ,
Most Reverend David A. Zubik
Bishop of Pittsburgh
