Incarnation of Our Lord
Roman Catholic
Incarnation of Our Lord Parish is a Catholic community in the Diocese of Allentown, Pennsylvania. The parish is a merged parish which was established in 2008 from the Slovak, Hungarian, Slovenian, Polish, and Italian Catholic Churches in the Southside of Bethlehem. We are now a territorial parish serving the needs of all in the Southside Bethlehem neighborhoods in addition to the former members of the five mother Churches. Incarnation of Our Lord Parish also has a sister parish Holy Ghost. The two parishes share a liturgical schedule, common prayer, and a mission to serve the Southside Bethlehem.
Incarnation of Our Lord Parish in Bethlehem was established on July 15, 2008. Msgr. William T Baker S.T.L was appointed as the first pastor and officially installed by Bishop Cullen on October 12, 2008. Incarnation was formed by the consolidation of five older neighboring Bethlehem parishes that included: Sts. Cyril and Methodius Parish, Our Lady of Pompeii of the Most Holy Rosary Parish, St. John Capistrano Parish, Saint Stanislaus Parish, and Saint Joseph’s Parish. The Solemn Opening of Incarnation parish took place on July 18, 2008 with representatives from each of the closed parishes participating in the liturgy.
