Lord’s Day 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.

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.

For those who are not ready or able to join the parish in person, each Mass is livestreamed on the parish Facebook page, www.facebook.com/sspplehightonpa, on the church’s website, peterandpaulchurch.com, and is available on the parish YouTube channel.
