All public liturgies at Our Lady of Victory Church are being cancelled. Our Bishop Gregory Mansour has lifted the Sunday Liturgy obligation.

Because we need prayer now more than ever, Fr. Rodolph and Fr. Hanna will continue to celebrate privately the daily and Sunday Divine Liturgies and the Friday evening Lenten devotions at their regularly scheduled times.

All liturgies are live streamed on our Church Facebook: www.facebook.com/olovpgh And our Website: olovpgh.org

We will not be holding the Holy Week services and Easter Liturgy at St. Pamphilus as originally announced.

This will remain in effect until further notice and in observance of all laws.
