Pittsburgh Catholic Parish Closing Most Of Its Doors

(WPXI) St. Maurice Church in Forest Hills will be the only remaining St. Joseph of the Worker Parish if the Bishop says it’s OK. The other seven Catholic churches are slated to close their doors due to significant financial constraints. Talk about closing St. Joseph the Worker Parish facilities started last October. Now, St. John Fisher Church in Churchill is set to close along with Sacred Heart, Saint Anselm, Madonna Del Castello, Good Shepherd, St. Jude the Apostle and St. Colman. Thursday, parishioners found out that St. Joseph the Worker Parish would recommend to Bishop Mark Eckman to close seven of its eight church buildings, leaving only St. Maurice in Forest Hills. The bishop is expected to make his decision in December. The closures would not begin until January of 2026.
