COVID-19 DIRECTIVE
Moving Forward Together
As counties move into the yellow phase of Governor Wolf’s reopening plan, parishes and other entities of the Diocese of Pittsburgh will need to be prepared to adopt the new guidelines. Some current shelter restrictions will be lifted, but additional requirements will be in place for public spaces. As such, our reopening process will be gradual, and in continued alignment with public health and safety guidelines, so that we may respect life, and the well-being of all. Due to the nature of the virus, these guidelines are fluid and may change with little advance notice. Our strategic reopening plan includes phases based on comprehensive recommendations from the diocesan COVID-19 Task Force in coordination and consultation with state and regional healthcare leaders. We have, and will continue to be vigilant in doing our part to help ‘flatten the curve’ of the spread of COVID-19.
On Friday, May 22, 2020, we in Beaver County joined the rest of the Diocese in the "yellow phase" of reopening as a result of the corona virus pandemic. The churches in our parish grouping are now unlocked for private prayer, but please abide by the restrictions posted there, including masks, sanitizing, social distancing and using only the portable chairs, not the pews. This is so only the chairs need to be cleaned daily, not all of the pew surfaces.All visitors MUST follow public health directives including: wearing masks, honoring the 6-feet social distancing requirement, and that congregating is not allowed. Through all of this we have seen in so many ways that Christ is with us always!

Examination of Conscience Guides
In preparation for participating in the Sacrament of Penance, an examination of conscience is a sound practice to perform. This involves prayerful consideration of your thoughts, words, and deeds in order to bring to memory any previously unforgiven sins.

An Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus,
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment recieve You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if you were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen .(St. Alphonsus Ligouri)

"If we are deprived of Sacramental Communion, let us replace it, as far as we can, by spiritual communion, which we can make every moment; for we ought to have always a burning desire to receive the good God. Communion is to the soul like blowing a fire that is beginning to go out, but that has still plenty of hot embers; we blow, and the fire burns again. After the reception of the Sacraments, when we feel ourselves slacken in the love of God, let us have recourse at once to spiritual communion.”
— St. Jean-Marie Vianney
"United to Christ we are never alone, but instead form one body, of which He is the head. It is a union that is nourished with prayer and also with spiritual communion in the Eucharist, a practice that is recommended when it isn't possible to receive the sacrament."
— Pope Francis
