A Message from Fr. Tony
Dear Parishioners of Christ Our Savior Parish,
I have been asked by the Bishop to take chaplaincy at the county jail. This is a ministry I have spoken to the bishop about in the past, as you know it was attempted when I first moved in, in 2018, but with the beginning of Church Alive it did not work. Since the establishment of Christ Our Savior Parish is completed, I have been asked to take this assignment.
We have discussed the possibility of being at the parish, and the jail, but that does not seem as if it is possible at this time. With the need of the inmates, I will be moving on to be a full-time chaplain of the Allegheny County Jail, beginning July 1. There has not yet been a replacement named for our parish, but I will keep you informed.
Thank you for working together on this merger. Keep the Spirit Alive.
Pray for me as I will be praying for you.
~ Fr Tony

Daily Mass
Public Mass attendance resumes.
Beginning June 1, 2020 Mass will resume. Due to the Little Sisters of the Poor Chapel still being closed which supplied Mass for several people in the area, the following will be implemented.
Please note it will change once we return to the green phrase for Allegheny County.
As of now here are the details for weekday Masses.
- 9:00 am Monday - Saturday at St. Cyril.
- 12:05 pm Monday - Friday at St. Peter.
Other instructions
- Please sit only in the open pews, and spaced out to three people per pew.
- Please wear a mask.
- Communion will be distributed after the conclusion of Mass with proper safe distancing to be observed. Be patient when waiting for communion, and stand at a 6-foot distance in line, unless you are a family that has been living together throughout the safety observances.
Confessions and Sunday Mass schedule will follow as soon as the details are worked out.
The video Masses will end with Pentecost Mass on May 31, since we are now able to attend Mass.

A Message From fr. tony
As the corona virus spreads and cations are put in place, much fear and concern are entering our minds and hearts. God will never abandon us; God is with us through this time. Let us look at some signs.
Pope John Paul II has reminded us that the phrase of “Be Not Afraid” is in the Bible 365 times. It could be a coincidence, but it seems that God wants to assure us to not be afraid. It appears 365 times, once for every day of the year.

letter from bishop zubik
My dear Sisters and Brothers of the Church of Pittsburgh,
“The Other Side of Corona.” What a difference several months make. Since the virus known as “corona” entered center stage in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China last December, just the mere mention of the word corona invokes many emotions, most notable of all fear—fear of the virus, fear of disease, fear of sickness, fear of death.

Ongoing Prayers and Mass...
Daily Mass and all Holy Week liturgies, will all be held in private with myself and a seminarian, Tom Kadlick.
Although you all cannot attend Mass, the blessings are being poured out each day. God's grace is enough for us. We must remember these words of St. Paul during hard times. God will get you through it when we trust.
Try and pray a rosary and Divine Mercy Chaplet each day while you are in the house. You will be showered with heavenly graces.

Easter Thank You and Blessing
This is a time normally filled with joy as we celebrate the holiest days of the year. This year we were separated from each other, yet still together in prayer and in each other’s hearts.
First, I want to sincerely thank all of you who have continued to contribute during this time. It is amazing, through online giving, or donations being sent by mail or dropped off, we are not doing too badly.
I really appreciate your commitment to Our Lord in helping us continue to keep the parish plants operating as much as possible for the days when we are able to return. There are no words to express my gratitude.
During this season, I pray that the Joy of the Risen Lord descend upon all of you, through the prayers of Our Blessed Mother, the Apostles, Disciples and all the Saints.
In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen

Times of Precautions
During these times of precautions, although there is an absence of Mass, please watch Mass on TV or by live stream and make a Spiritual Communion.
During this time of suspension of sacraments, I encourage everyone to say a good 'Act of Contrition' daily, which would suffice in times like these, although once the cautions are over, it should be followed up by a regular confession.

Mass Intentions
If you have an intention for a Mass you will receive a call in the future for rescheduling the intention.
