Our mission is to bring people closer to Jesus Christ through the Divine Liturgy, prayer, the Holy Mysteries, and a life of faith rooted in the Gospel.
As a Ukrainian Byzantine Catholic parish, we cherish our rich spiritual heritage while warmly welcoming everyone seeking God, hope, and a caring community. Through worship, service, Christian education, and fellowship, we strive to grow together in faith and share Christ's love with our neighbors.
Founded in 1921, Holy Ghost Ukrainian Catholic Church has faithfully served West Easton and the surrounding Lehigh Valley for more than a century. Rebuilt in 1945, our church remains a living witness to the faith, traditions, and perseverance of generations of Ukrainian Byzantine Catholics. Today, we continue that legacy by welcoming all who seek Christ and a deeper life of faith.
