Holy Ghost Catholic Church

About this church

Holy Ghost Catholic Church in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, is an apostolate of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter within the Diocese of Allentown. Every Mass, liturgy, and sacrament is offered according to the traditional Roman Rite. Sunday Masses are at 8:30 a.m., followed by a coffee hour, and at 10:30 a.m., followed by a potluck and a catechism session with questions and answers. Daily Mass is at 8 a.m., Monday through Saturday. Confessions are heard starting 30 minutes before every Mass, so visitors can arrive early if they wish to receive the sacrament. Holy Days of Obligation are listed in the printed bulletin.

The parish asks families to contact the office to arrange baptisms and to allow at least six months' notice for weddings. Votive candles are available throughout the church, and seven-day candles can be lit in the sanctuary and at several side altars and statues. Parishioners admitted to St. Luke's Hospital, Lehigh Valley Hospital, or another care facility can give the church's name to request a pastoral visit or the sacraments. The website also has pages on parish life, sacred art, sacred music, the parish cemetery, the social hall, and current bulletins. Online giving and directions are available there too. The church is at 417 Carlton Avenue, and Mass times should be confirmed on the website or by phone before a first visit.
