Annunciation Parish, also known as the Church of Saint Gabriel Holy Annunciation Parish, is a Roman Catholic church located in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. Established in 1874, the church has a rich history that includes the opening of St. Gabriel School, which started as a night school for men and boys and later became a certified high school. The school building underwent renovations and expansions over the years, and although it closed in 1992, its legacy lives on through the records held by Holy Family Academy.
Throughout its history, Annunciation Parish has played a vital role in the community, providing education and spiritual guidance to its members. The church has also been involved in various charitable activities, including converting the school into a makeshift hospital during the flu epidemic of 1918. Today, Annunciation Parish continues to serve as a place of worship and a center for sacramental preparation, faith formation, and community engagement.
