History

Holy Angels Parish in Kulpmont, Pennsylvania, has served the Catholic community in this coal-mining region for many years. Kulpmont, being part of the anthracite coal district, saw an influx of various ethnic groups in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which led to the establishment of numerous ethnic Catholic parishes. Holy Angels was one such parish, primarily serving the Polish and Lithuanian immigrants who settled in the area.[1]

The parish's mission statement reflects a dedication to a diverse community, emphasizing unity through the Holy Spirit, proclaiming the Word of God, and committing to various forms of community service, including protecting the unborn, fostering faith in youth, evangelization, and care for the aging.[2]

Holy Angels has been known for its community activities, including the annual Kulpmont Winefest, which supports local causes and parish projects. The parish has also been active in hosting events like fish fries, particularly noted during Lent, which not only bring the community together but also raise funds for the church's needs.[3]

Over the years, the parish has adapted to the changing demographics and the declining population in Kulpmont due to the decline of the coal industry, focusing on maintaining a strong community bond and spiritual life. While there is no longer a parish school, Holy Angels continues to provide religious education and various community services.[4]
