COVID-19 Updates

Advance Registration No Longer Necessary for Attending Mass.
As of Monday, April 5, 2021, it is no longer necessary to register to attend Mass. We have received permission from the Diocese of Pittsburgh to expand the seating capacities in our churches, and are glad to welcome more attendees to Masses.

Seating at Mass is On a First-Come, First-Served Basis.
For this reason, it's probably a good idea to get to church a little early. If you arrive at church and it is full, you may still listen to the Mass in your vehicle on 89.1 FM in the parking lots at St. Athanasius, St. Sebastian and St. Teresa of Avila churches. If you choose to listen to the Mass in your vehicle, at the Lamb of God, you may put on your mask and enter church to receive Holy Communion. Following Communion, it will be necessary to return to your vehicle.

Parish Religious Organizations May Again Meet in Person.
The COVID Response Team at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish has determined that it is safe for parish organizations and ministries that have religious or spiritual objectives may meet in person. The caveat is that all attendees must wear masks and socially distance.

Minister of Hospitality are There to Help You.
Our parish’s Ministers of  Hospitality (MOHs) are charged with a number of important responsibilities, including:

• Greeting attendees
• Ensuring that you have your mask in place prior to entering the churches
• Seating you and your family in a way that maintains proper social distancing
• Answering parishioner questions

Churches Continue to Be Sanitized After Each Mass amd Service.
Each of our parish churches continues to be cleaned and sanitized after each Mass, service and other event. This ensures the highest level of cleanliness at all times.
