Northampton County Hosted a Naturalization Ceremony at Jacobsburg State Park

June 11, 2026

Northampton County and the Northampton County Bar Association held a Naturalization Ceremony today at Jacobsburg State Park Environmental Education Center, 400 Belfast Road, Nazareth.

The ceremony was held outdoors, directly across the street from the Environmental Education Center at Jacobsburg State Park.

Northampton County President Judge Craig A. Dally presided over the ceremony, during which 29 citizens from 19 counties took the Oath of Allegiance and officially became United States citizens.

“Today we celebrated one of the most meaningful responsibilities of the court,” President Judge Craig A. Dally said. “Welcoming new citizens is a powerful reminder of the values that unite us and the opportunities that citizenship provides.”

“This ceremony is a hallmark not only for the new citizens, but for our entire community,” said Michael A. Santanasto, president of the Northampton County Bar Association. “We are proud to support and recognize this important milestone.”

A reception sponsored by the Northampton County Bar Association was held immediately following the ceremony under the pavilion for all attendees.
