Saint Andrew the Apostle Parish is comprised of the Roman Catholic faithful from the Mid-Monongahela Valley, located in Southwestern Pennsylvania, USA. The geographical area of the Parish includes the towns of Monongahela, Donora, Charleroi, and neighboring communities. Since January of 2020, the Parishioners of the valley have been worshipping together as a new parish, and have been living a Christian Life of Faith, Hope, and Love.
Come and join us as we pray, petition, sing, and gather around the Eucharistic Table of our Beloved Savior, Jesus Christ!
All health and safety protocols, including mask-wearing, social distancing of at least 6-feet, and cleaning and sanitizing procedures must still be followed. As with previous directives, it will be up to individual pastors to determine their own safe reopening plans based on their particular spaces, resources, and staffing.
In addition, priests are encouraged to make arrangements to distribute the Body of Christ within the Mass (as opposed to the end of Mass if that has been the custom in the parish(es). The COVID restrictions of not offering the Blood of Christ and of not sharing the sign of peace remain unchanged.
The dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass remains in effect in our diocese and throughout Pennsylvania. As such, those in vulnerable groups due to their health or age may make the decision to worship from home.
Our Parish guidelines here at St. Andrew:
At the moment all church buildings in the parish are open. However, we only have a limited number of seating. The capacity is 50% of the number of seats available for Mass. This requirement is part of the incorporated protocols mandated by the CDC, Commonwealth of PA, and Diocese of Pittsburgh.
Because we are slowly re-opening all the Church buildings to resume normal operations, we are, at the moment, trying different options for the online Mass. We are looking into possible solutions for the future and would like to continue in one way, shape, or form, something that is streamed for your convenience. So, at the present time, the livestreaming may be a little jittery, etc. for everyone, since we don't have proper equipment.
