Holy Cathedral of the dioceses of Pittsburgh. This is an engineering marvel for churches in America "they don't build 'em like they use to" the beautiful stone work that surrounds the whole facade of the church must be carefully and intently studied as there are many stone statues and many other marvels to wonder at. The inside will simply take your breath away. With 2 Beautiful side altars on each side with an immensely Beautiful high alter in the middle. The new alter in front is nice as well. The Beautiful architecture of the church speaks to the rich traditional history of the Catholic faith, which can be seen by observing the stain glass windows that start with the story of Adam and Eve and end with Catholicism arriving in the America's. This is a must see for any Catholic who's...

Wonderful weekday noon mass - great way to receive Holy Eucharist without the potential "crowds" of a weekend mass (although even Sunday, Dec 20 was comfortably low in attendance) - I would like to see attendees maintaining the 6ft spacing guidelines when going up the aisle to receive communion, but otherwise very safe distancing and full mask compliance by all. Priest and readers did a wonderful job... and it's just so nice to attend in person!! Our new baby granddaughter was baptized there on 12/20, and we couldn't have been happier with the arrangements! A wonderful parish with lots of volunteers to pitch in to sanitize the pews after each mass....
