Regarding Exposure to COVID-19 at 11am Sunday Masses at St. Andrew on Nov. 1 & 8, 2020

Updated on Nov. 18, 2020 - Following the protocol set forth by the Diocese of Pittsburgh, this announcement is to inform you that two individuals who attended the 11am Mass at St. Andrew Church on Sunday, Nov. 8, have tested positive for COVID-19.

As you face the altar, one individual was seated on the right side about 10 pews from the back. The other individual was seated on the left side in the front row near the center aisle.

Earlier we reported that two individuals who attended the 11am Mass at St. Andrew Church on Sunday, Nov. 1, tested positive for COVID-19.

As you face the altar, one individual was seated on the left side about 8 to 10 pews from the back. The other individual also sat on the left side -- about 6 rows from the front/first row of pews. 

If you were seated in these sections of the church during the Mass, you may have been exposed and therefore you should consider following the CDC guidelines of self-quarantining for 14 days from the date of potential exposure (either Nov. 1 or 8). If you experience any flu-like symptoms, please seek the advice of your doctor.

Our prayers are with these people and all who are affected by COVID-19.

St. Andrew Church was cleaned and sanitized after the 11am Mass – we do this for all of our church buildings regularly.

The Mass schedule at St. Andrew and all Butler Area Catholic Parishes remains the same – you can view it on our website and in our bulletin. Please wear a mask, practice social distancing, and wash / sanitize your hands often.

If you have questions, please contact Communications Director Cindy Cusic Micco at cindy.micco@gmail.com or 724-482-2690 ext. 225.

I pray for all of you daily.

In Christ,
