Mass in Your Car

All Masses now being broadcast at 89.1 FM

As you are aware, we at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish have been diligent in our efforts to clean and sanitize our church buildings on a continual basis in accordance with guidelines provided by the State of Pennsylvania, Allegheny County and the Diocese of Pittsburgh.

We also realize that many parishioners and visitors remain hesitant to attend Mass during this time, especially those people who have underlying medical conditions. In light of this, we’re now offering a new way to experience the Mass, in addition to attending Masses in person and viewing them via our online video feed.

We are pleased to announce that you can now attend Mass in your vehicle. Beginning this weekend, all Masses celebrated at St. Athanasius, St. Sebastian and St. Teresa of Avila churches will also be broadcast via FM transmitter to cars in the parking lots at those churches. Just drive into the lot, find a parking space and tune your radio to 89.1 FM. You are asked to remain in your car during the Mass.

If you plan to receive Holy Communion, please follow these instructions:

1. When the singing of the Lamb of God begins, and with your mask in place, enter the church through the main doors. The Ministers of Hospitality will direct you to Communion.

2. After receiving Communion, please return to your vehicle and remain there for the remainder of Mass. No one is permitted to remain in the narthex during Mass.
