Nearly 400 people who seek to enter into full communion with the Catholic Church are now on that path after welcoming ceremonies were held at the Cathedral of Saint Catharine of Siena in Allentown on Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 25 and 26.
Because of the large number of people involved, three separate ceremonies were held: Saturday evening for people from Northampton County; Sunday afternoon for people from Berks and Schuylkill counties; and Sunday evening for people from Lehigh and Carbon counties.
