50% Maximum Capacity Now Allowed, Health and Safety Protocols Remain in Effect Parishes in the Diocese of Pittsburgh will be allowed to increase attendance at Masses to 50% maximum capacity at each Mass effective this weekend, October 3-4, 2020. However, 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.  All health and safety protocols, including mask-wearing, social distancing of at least 6 feet, and cleaning and sanitizing procedures must still be followed.
