BISHOP ZUBIK'S CALL TO PRAYER
Evil such as we are witnessing these days can only be overcome by prayer. At this most critical time in the history of our country and our towns and cities, I ask that each one of you join with me as we focus on the absolute necessity of praying to God for guidance, courage and the vision that tears down walls and helps to build bridges. - Bishop ZubikWake Me Up, Lord
Wake me up Lord so that the evil of racism
finds no home within me.
Keep watch over my heart Lord
and remove from me any barriers to your grace.
Fill my spirit Lord
so that I may give services of justice and peace.
Clear my mind Lord and use it for your glory.
And finally, remind me Lord that you said,
“Blessed are the peacemakers
for they shall be called children of God.” Amen.

***************************************************************************************
For Attendance at Mass:- Masks are required as well as sanitizing hands upon entrance to the Church (sanitizer will be provided; you must bring your own mask that covers your nose and mouth).
- You will be asked to give your name as you enter the Church
- Ushers will guide you to your seat.
- Holy Communion will only be distributed at the end of Mass and attendees will leave afterwards in prayerful silence (not returning to the pew). The Bishop’s strongest recommendation is that all receive Communion in the hand during this time of pandemic.
Other Notes:- There will be no offertory procession.
- There will be no sign of peace.
- The ushers will take up the collection as usual at Saint Clare of Assisi, Saint Elizabeth of Hungary and Holy Spirit. At Saint Thomas a' Becket, your offering can be placed in the large box in the Narthax.
- There is no congregating in small groups inside or outside of the Church.
The release of the obligation of Sunday Mass attendance continues at this time. Remember, if you do not feel well or have any health issues, the Bishop has strongly suggested that you stay home and continue to use the various resources for live streaming and broadcasting of Masses, including our own parish Mass.

report abuse
The Reporting Process
- Everyone is a permissive reporter and is encouraged to make a report of suspected child abuse. Reporters of suspected child abuse fall into two categories.
- Mandated reporters are those adults who come into direct contact with children in the course of their employment or volunteer of a regularly scheduled program or activity, who accepts responsibility for a child.
- The trigger to report is a reasonable suspicion that a child is being abused. Permissive reporters may report anonymously; mandated reporters may not.
Making a report of Child Abuse
- Reports of suspected child abuse are to be made immediately.
- If the child is in imminent danger, call 911.
- Reports may be made orally by phone or electronically.
- Oral reports are made to ChildLine at 1-800-932-0313 which is available 24/7.
- Electronic reports are made via CWIS Self-Service portal at: www.compass.state.pa.us/cwis
- Inform the supervisor or person in charge of your program that a report was made.
- To report church-related abuse to the Diocese of Pittsburgh call: 1-888-808-1235
