Welcome to the website of Our Lady of Peace Parish at Most Precious Blood and Our Lady of Grace Churches! We are a Roman Catholic Parish located in the city of Hazleton, Pennsylvania. This parish is part of the Diocese of Scranton and is led by the Rev. Anthony J. Generose, Pastor.
The
mission of our parish, a community of faith for
over a century, is dedicated to worship and prayer. We are committed to radiate
the life and love of God to each other. We extend our hands to those persons who
are most in need.
The consolidation of Most Precious Blood and Queen of Heaven Parishes occurred on July 1, 2025.

Correction to Bulletin: The Vigil Mass for Saturday, April 11 is at 4:00 pm, not 8:00 pm as previously stated.
You can see the recent St. Carlo Acutis exhibit on our Facebook! You can also view it on our YouTube channel.
Parish Meeting Invitation: We extend an open invitation to a parish meeting to be held at Moran Funeral Home located on 13th Street on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, beginning at 6pm. On that evening, we will “walk through” all the facts considered by the parish finance and pastoral councils the past several months which also have been shared in parish bulletin announcements and on the parish website. Please feel free to attend the meeting which will sum up the rationale for an extremely difficult recommendation we must give to Bishop Bambera regarding Our Lady of Grace Church.
Get Involved St. Joseph Vocation Ministry offers numerous ways for you to get involved and contribute to our mission: - Host St. Joseph in your home for a weekly visit - Pray the Rosary with the parish - Pray the Rosary at home. Attend our monthly meetings for prayer and inspiration to help grow vocations to the consecrated life.
St. Joseph Vocation Ministry will meet on Monday May 4th in the rectory at 6:00 p.m.
St. Joseph Vocation Ministry will be hosting our 2nd annual Uplift Your Priest Day in the church hall on April 26th following the 10:30 a.m. Mass. There will be games, free food and drinks, tricky trays for children and much more! Parents are welcome and encouraged to attend with their children. The event will run from 11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. If possible, reservations are made by calling the rectory at (570) 454-8714 and speak to Carol with the number of adults and children who will be attending. Please mark your calendar and plan on attending to celebrate Father Generose! We look forward to hearing from you!
