St. Gabriel's Catholic Parish Complex
St. Gabriel's Catholic Parish Complex, Gothic Revival Catholic church in Hazleton, US
St. Gabriel's is a Catholic church complex with twin bell towers and three entrance portals built from pink granite with limestone trim. The compound includes the main church, a rectory, and a former convent building positioned together on spacious grounds.
The complex was founded in 1907 and received major expansions in the 1920s and 1930s. These building phases combined Gothic Revival elements with Colonial Revival architecture.
The parish has shaped community life for over a century and continues to serve as a gathering place for the local Catholic population. Its buildings reflect how religious institutions provided stability and belonging in a coal mining town.
The site sits centrally in town on South Wyoming Street and is easy to reach on foot. The multi-building grounds can be explored at a leisurely pace without time pressure.
The former convent building was converted in 1999 into affordable apartments and office spaces, showing how church properties adapt to serve community needs. This repurposing preserved the historic structure while keeping the complex in active use for public benefit.
