    Greetings from NE Scotland.
    Husband and I will be venturing across the pond next week and will be in Allentown on Sunday 27th. Please could someone direct us to the Catholic Church there?
    Thanks in anticipation!

    Actually I've now seen the Find a Mass thread. The Reverent Mass site lists St Stephen of Hungary in Allentown, which looks promising.
    We came over a few years ago, won't mention the city, and had a rather disappointing experience, hence the advance preparation this time.

    I am an organist of this parish… we have two locations… you might want to come to Holy Ghost in Bethlehem, our newer location where the choir sings at the 10:30. .. and come up to the choir loft after Mass so we can shake hands.

    Francis, the grey-on-black of the website is hard to read. (I went to check; I had no idea that you'd gotten a new home!) It may be that the site accounts for my system being in dark mode, but I would much rather there be no change than to be unable to read the website…

    Looks like a beautiful parish! I'll have to stop by if I'm ever in the area (I don't travel much).

    Yes… come by… let me know when if you do. Gothic German architecture built in 1800’s.

    Allentown-Bethlehem and the Lehigh Valley have a lot of wonderful people and things.

    *Not* sacred music, but a lovely, silky, folk song from the 1980s that the group wrote inspired by news accounts of interviews with the veteran (as in decades-long) workers of when the last silk mills of Allentown closed:
