St. Michael's & Ss. Peter & Paul Churches.

Announcements & Helpful Links Please regard the new time for the morning service when a Day of Precept falls on a Monday (e.g., the feast of Ss. Peter & Paul, June 29th). Hopefully, this will allow more to attend services on days when attendance is required. Everyone who has received an invitation for the Wedding Jubilaian Celebration on Sunday, August 9, 2009, at SS. Peter & Paul Church in Minersville, is asked to please return their r.s.v.p. card no later than July 1st. If you are celebrating a special anniversary and have not received an invitation, please contact your pastor immediately. The Hierarchical Liturgy will be celebrated by Bishop William Skurla and the area clergy, followed by a delicious dinner in the parish hall. Please come and celebrate your special wedding anniversary with us! Bring your bulletin from St. Michael's Church to the Allentown Brew Works at 812 Hamilton Street, Allentown, or at Main & Broad, Bethelehem, for brunch between 11:00 AM & 4:00 PM on Sundays, and everyone in your party will receive $2.00 off any entrée.
