Masses

Lord’s Day Masses at SS. Peter and Paul Parish, 260 N. Third St., Lehighton, begin on Saturday at 4 p.m. and Sunday at 7:45 a.m. and 10 a.m.

The Rev. Christopher M. Zelonis offers the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass with the assistance of Deacon Joseph C. Wilhelm Jr.

While reservations are not being taken, we can safely hold no more than 75 people with social distancing, wearing of masks, and sanitizing practices in place. Our parish hall (school building) live­streams Mass from church and can fit an additional 25 people.

For those who are not ready or able to join us in person, each Mass is live­streamed on our parish Facebook page, www.facebook.com/sspplehightonpa, and on our website, peterandpaulchurch.com, and is available later on our parish YouTube channel. The cry room remains unavailable, but we love the sight and sound of children!
