“We were happy to learn that our employee’s spouse tested negative for COVID-19, and that they are feeling better,” said Father Nicholas Vaskov, Director of The Shrines of Pittsburgh. “In light of the possible risk at the time, we know we made the right decision in canceling Masses for the weekend.
