In-person Masses that had been canceled over the weekend at some of Pittsburgh historic churches will resume Monday.

Masses at the Shrines of Pittsburgh grouping in the diocese had been canceled because the spouse of an employee thought the had covid-19. But the test came back negative, the pastor of the grouping, the Rev. Nick Vaskov, said in a Facebook post Sunday.

“Good News! Our employee’s spouse tested negative for COVID-19 and is feeling better,” Vaskov wrote.

In-person Masses will be held at 8:30 a.m. Monday at St. Anthony Chapel in Troy Hill and at 12:10 p.m. at St. Patrick Church in the Strip District.

The church grouping also includes Immaculate Heart of Mary in Polish Hill; Most Holy Name of Jesus in Troy Hill; St. Nicholas in Millvale; St. Patrick and St. Stanislaus Kostka in the Strip District.
