Statement on Pope Francis’ Action Regarding New Restrictions on the Celebration of Latin Masses

In the Diocese of Pittsburgh, we have one parish dedicated to the celebration of the daily Latin Mass (Tridentine Mass).  In July 2019, Most Precious Blood of Jesus Parish (Pittsburgh) was established as a personal parish to support the celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass. Under the new norms from Pope Francis, Bishop Zubik confirms the continued existence of Most Precious Blood of Jesus Parish without any alterations. There will be no changes to Masses at Most Precious Blood of Jesus Parish. 

Bishop David Zubik said, “With today’s communication from the Holy Father, we remain committed to work for the unity of the Church as Pope Francis implores us to do in his latest teaching.”
