Out of an abundance of caution, we would like to inform you that a member of our parish community, who attended Masses at St Bernadette this past week, has tested positive for the COVID-19 virus.  The individual is following the recommendations of their treating physician, as well as guidelines set forth by the CDC and the PA and Allegheny County Health Departments.

Individuals who were in close contact with this individual at our liturgies — which is defined as “fifteen minutes or more within six feet” — have been individually contacted and advised to self-isolate for 14 days from date of exposure.  Should you have any concerns about your health, we encourage you to contact your health care provider and share these details.

Consistent with CDC guidelines, all buildings at Christ the Divine Shepherd Parish are regularly cleaned and sanitized. In addition, we continue to follow all diocesan, local, state, and federal health and safety directives, including the wearing of face coverings, hand washing and sanitizing, social distancing, self-screening, and cleaning / disinfecting.
