For Announcements and information from the Diocese of Pittsburgh about the coronavirus COVID-19 - CLICK HERE

There will be no public celebration of Holy Week in all the parishes of the diocese this year...
This means Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Vigil, and Easter Sunday. These will be live streamed by the diocese of Pittsburgh and we at our parish community are looking into the possibilities of live streaming out own. Updates will be coming...

All Masses in the Diocese of Pittsburgh have been Cancelled
In light of increasing updates on and concerns about the coronavirus (COVID-19), Bishop David Zubik has made the decision to cancel all weekday and Sunday Masses in the Diocese of Pittsburgh until further notice. When, for any reason, we cannot participate in Mass, the Church invites us to unite with Christ through this prayer of Spiritual Communion. Praying this prayer is a beautiful way to unite our hearts to Christ's when we cannot receive him physically in the Eucharist. 

The Parish Office is currently closed to the public
However, there will be someone in the office Monday thru Friday answering the phone and checking messages. We ask that during this time, all parish business be conducted by phone or email. Please call 412-381-0212 or 412-481-8380, or email princeofpeaceparish@verizon.net or smom@smomp.org

Until further notice, all parish gatherings and meetings have been cancelled. This includes:

• The Friday Fish Fry
• The Slovak Mass and Easter Customs Breakfast
• The Spring Luncheon and Fashion Show
• The Parish Communal Reconciliation Service
• All Parish Organization Meetings

The Parish Communal Reconciliation Service has been cancelled 
However, Confession will be offered on Wednesday's from 6:00 - 6:45 p.m. at Saint Mary of the Mount Church.
All health precautions will be taken. Confessions normally scheduled on Saturday at Saint Adalbert Church 
have been cancelled. Those unable to go to confession are encouraged to make acts of personal repentance and spirititual communions. The faithful can rest assured that God will not abandon them in their time of need, but will respond to their sincere desire and grant them the grace they need.

Stay Close to God and stay close to each other relationally in this time of Social Distancing
During this time of social distancing, we encourage all parishioners to support one another, especially those who are in need or may be lonely. The easiest way is to offer a phone call to a neighbor, family member, and especially the elderly. 

Staying close spiritually and throught prayer resource
Though Masses and events are cancelled in our parish and throughout the Diocese of Pittsburgh due to the coronavirus, 
many resources are available to help you live out your faith including from our parish communities as well as many other sources - for a few of those resources - CLICK HERE
