• The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is offered on the Lord’s Day at 4 p.m. on Saturdays, at 7:45 and 10 a.m. on Sundays. Daily Masses are held on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and First Saturdays at 8 a.m. The Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) is offered on Thursdays from 5-6 p.m. and about 30 minutes before Masses on Friday, Saturday evening and Sunday morning.

• Each month SSPP parishioners make and serve 200 bag lunches for grateful veterans at the American Legion. Lunch includes a sandwich, fruit, chips, cookies and water. The church has received donations from the Lehighton FD, the Orioles, various area businesses and anonymous donors. Please help with a donation to SS. Peter and Paul Parish with “Veterans Lunches” in the check memo. We have a standard crew for lunch assembly, but we wouldn’t refuse help in that platoon either.

Accepted are usable men’s, ladies’ and children’s wear, pairs of shoes (bagged separately from anything else), bags, hats, scarves, towels, blankets, bedsheets, pillows, curtains, toys less than 2 inches, stuffed animals, bikes and strollers.

While the Knights of Columbus Damien Council #598 are hosting the program, men need not belong to participate.
