A peek at
Our History
St Nicholas Parish in Walnutport was established in 1974. The history of the parish can be traced back to Nicholas Glasser, a German immigrant who settled in Lehigh Township by 1840. He allowed a small building to be built on his land for the purpose of Catholic worship. The first log church was named for Saint Nicholas and built in Berlinsville by Father Tanzer of Easton about 1840. A small cemetery was located beside the church.

A Message From Father
First of all, I pray that God will bestow countless blessings upon you and our St. Nicholas parish today and forever.
On July 17, 2025, I was officially appointed by Bishop Alfred Schlert of Allentown as the pastor of St. Nicholas parish. I am very happy to be appointed here and firmly believe that with the cooperation of everyone in our St. Nicholas parish, we will grow stronger and united in love as Jesus Christ calls us to, "love one another" (John 13:34) and "be united in the love of God" (John 17:23).
Our St. Nicholas parish is still very young and modest in number, so to develop and grow stronger, we must sacrifice and dedicate ourselves more. I am confident that with the self-sacrifice and love of everyone, our parish will flourish. Just as Saint Paul called to the believers of Corinth, he calls our community: "I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought" (1 Cor 1:10). This is what we constantly pray for and desire. We not only pray and hope for our parish to grow but also pray and hope for unity and love forever.
Our parish has revamped its website to help people connect, contribute, and stay informed about the parish's activities and schedules. On this website, we can make financial contributions weekly, monthly, and yearly in an effective and quick manner according to our abilities. I ask you all to read the information and contribute through the parish website. I invite you all to attend Mass, pray, and participate in weekly activities at the parish.
I am very thankful for your sacrifices and contributions over many past years. I ask you to continue praying for our parish today and forever.
Welcome to Our Parish
Welcome to St. Nicholas Roman Catholic Church! Whether you're visiting, returning, or new to our parish, we're delighted you're here. May your time with us draw you closer to God and to our Community.

Mega Gift Card Raffle and Craft/Vendor Event
We’re holding a Mega Gift Card Raffle Social and Craft/Vendor event in the Social Hall Nov. 7 and 8 (Sat. 9 am-4 pm and Sun. 9 am-1 pm, with live drawings at 1 pm).

We hope to have 8-12 tables with crafters and vendors, as well as ample seating for people to socialize and enjoy the yummy baked goods and other food.
Please consider donating gift cards or certificates (or money to buy them) for the raffle, volunteering at the event, or baking. Suggestions for gift cards are in the portico. Please drop off donations and used suggestion cards at the parish office, or give them directly to Father Ha, Jen Karmonick, or Trina Marie Fixl. Sign up sheets for volunteer shifts and baking are also in the portico. Contact Jen or Trina with any questions.
One Family for Thanksgiving
St. Nicholas parish is one family in the Church, and we celebrate Thanksgiving as a
family.
There are some who may not have a happy Thanksgiving because of financial concerns. As a Parish Family we would like to reach out to our parishioners in need of assistance. It is by the generous sharing of our gifts that we can thank Our Lord for His kindness and generosity to us.
About: This program provides canned or boxed foods and gift cards to families in need. We
strive to provide everything required for a Thanksgiving dinner.
There are several ways you can help!
Food donations: We are asking for canned or boxed food donations:
Cranberry sauce • Vegetables • Turkey gravy • Instant potatoes • Rice • Applesauce • Yams • Hearty soups • Cake mix and icing
Monetary donations: To make a donation to help purchase grocery store gift cards for turkeys:
- Place monetary donations in an envelope marked “Turkey” (located on a table in the portico)
- Envelopes can be placed in the collection baskets at Mass or dropped off at the parish office.
We’re asking that all donations be made by November 15th.
Do you know of anyone in our parish or area that needs assistance?
