PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - For the second year in a row, there was no Labor Day Parade due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In place of a parade, the Allegheny County Labor Council continued its "Weekend Of Service."

On Sunday, members gathered at St. Paul's Cathedral for a special Labor Day mass.

Bishop David Zubik said the holiday is especially important to the people of Pittsburgh.
