Dear Holy Family Parishioners,
There are NO new updates specific to our parish, but the Diocese of Pittsburgh released several documents yesterday and today. You can read some of the relevant information related to COVID-19 updates for our Diocese and schools.
- Diocese of Pittsburgh Catholic Schools prepare reopening plans
- Diocese of Pittsburgh Schools Flyer
- Diocese of Pittsburgh announcing reorganizing plans due to pandemic
- Diocese of Pittsburgh financial disclosures on Paycheck Protection Program
For the last item, #4, our five parishes (before merger) each received a paycheck protection program loan, so we were 5 of the 110 parishes in the Diocese of Pittsburgh receiving loans. This was previously reported in our parish bulletin. I had to apply for them for our parishes independently, with some help from the Diocese. We are now working on the forgiveness of those loans per the PPP loan forgiveness process. This will be a great financial help to our new Holy Family Parish.
I hope you are able to attend some of the HOPE Festival take-out starting tomorrow, Wednesday through Saturday 5-8 PM.
In Christ,
Father Kevin
Pastor, Holy Family Parish
