Looking for Volunteers  Fountain Hill Elementary School is in need of additional student mentors for the coming school year. This service has been very successful in helping students improve their performance. Several Nativity parishioners are currently volunteering for this opportunity. If you would like to get involved or have questions, please contact Don Appleton at dvappleton1015@gmail.com or 610-730-6676.
The National Museum of Industrial History is searching for oral history participants, particularly individuals who have personal history of immigrating and working for Bethlehem Steel Corporation, or descendants of those who immigrated to South Bethlehem to work at the plant. If you (or a family member) would like to discuss your stories, please contact Pete Hodson by email: phodson01@qub.ac.uk or telephone: 1-702-234-5764.
