Founded in 1861, it is described as the oldest Roman Catholic church in Bethlehem and is part of the Diocese of Allentown.

The parish offers religious education, sacramental preparation, and OCIA/RICA for adults entering the Catholic Church, and it is linked with Holy Infancy School. A young adult group for ages 18 to 35 meets Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. in the rectory and is now held in Spanish. The Almonry Ministry matches parishioners who have something to give with neighbors in need. Parishioners can sign up for free access to FORMED and to diocesan online faith-formation workshops. A multicultural festival is held each summer, and a Question Box invites questions about the faith. The rectory is open on weekday afternoons, and a capital campaign is adding an elevator and an accessible bathroom. Call 610-866-1121 for details.
