The Roman Catholic Diocese of Greensburg will celebrate its 70th anniversary Wednesday with a special Mass led by Bishop Larry J. Kulick, the diocese announced.
The Mass will be livestreamed at dioceseofgreensburg.org and on its Facebook page and YouTube channel. It starts at 11:45 a.m.
The diocese was started March 10, 1951, by Pope Pius XII and covers about 128,000 Catholics in Armstrong, Fayette, Indiana and Westmoreland counties. Its first leader, Bishop Hugh Lamb, established 10 new parishes and eight new schools, including Greensburg Central Catholic High School, according to a biography on the diocese website.
The dioceses of Greensburg and Pittsburgh are supporting a recommendation by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) that parishioners avoid, if possible, the Johnson & Johnson vaccine against COVID-19.
The statement by the bishops, which was released Tuesday, said that believers should get the vaccines that are being manufactured by Pfizer or Moderna, rather than the newly approved Johnson & Johnson vaccine if they have a choice. In a statement, the bishops said the Johnson & Johnson vaccine âwas developed, tested and is produced with abortion-derived cell lines.â
But the bishops also recommended that if the faithful have no choice and the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is the only one available, they should go ahead and get that. That is in line with a December directive from the Vatican that it is âmorally acceptable to receive COVID-19 vaccines that have used cell lines from aborted fetuses in their research and production processâ if there is no

Filmed-in-Pittsburgh movie “I’m Your Woman,” streaming Friday on Amazon’s Prime Video, tracks a seldom seen aspect of a cinematic crime story.
Instead of focusing on the mobsters, the film follows the criminal’s wife, Jean (Rachel Brosnahan, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”), and the impact of her husband’s criminal activity as she evolves from bored housewife to empowered survivor.
More character exploration than thriller, the 1970s-set “I’m Your Woman” oh, the wallpaper! starts at a slow boil with many scenes of Jean home alone, frustrated over not knowing where her husband is or when he’ll be back.
