SAINTS PETER AND PAUL PARISH
Lord’s Day Masses at SS. Peter and Paul Parish, 260 N. Third Street, Lehighton, begin today 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. There are no distance requirements, and masks do not need to be worn unless you are not yet two weeks from your second vaccination. For those who need or desire the space, our parish hall (school building) livestreams each Mass from church and can fit an additional 25 people.
The obligation to attend Holy Mass is once again in force. For those who are not physically or morally able to join us in person, each Mass is livestreamed on our parish Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/sspplehightonpa, and on our website, peterandpaulchurch.com, and is available on our parish YouTube channel. We love the sight and sound of children!
