Holy Family History

I knew the Holy Family church was large, but was unaware that it is the second largest church in the Diocese of Allentown.

I learned this reading an article on the church in the Morning Call, which included a bit of its history as well as its current state (read the article here).

Holy Family 100 Celebration

The Express-Times reports on the continuing festivities around the 100th anniversary of the Holy Family Church (read the article here).

On Sunday a special service will be held at 2:00 p.m. that will include the Diocese Bishop and twenty five other priests from across the Lehigh Valley.

Following the service there will be a banquet at the Northampton Memorial Community Center.

Holy Family Parish 100th Anniversary

The Holy Family Parish is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year and they have a web site specific to the occasion: http://www.holyfamilyonline.org/100anniversary/

The site includes history, events, and commemorative items.

Art Show and Holy Family Production

The Nazareth Area School District Art Show begins tonight and runs through Friday. The event is held in the HS Gym and recognizes the talent of all students from K through 12. The times to view are during the school day and from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. each evening.

Also, I received a note from a reader regarding the Holy Family School production of Mary Poppins this weekend at the Gym (matinees at 3, not sure of evening times).

I tried to find more info online, but only got the Diocese page on the school. If anyone has a link to a web site for the school, please forward it and I'll add it in place of the new one on the Schools listing in the left sidebar - thanks.

UPDATE: Thanks to Christine for the following (and the updated sidebar link):

Mary Poppins is scheduled for:

Friday, May 18th at 7:00 p.m.

Saturday, May 19th at 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.

It will be held at the Holy Family Gymnasium, 17 N. Convent Avenue, Nazareth 18064.
