History

Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish in Marysville, Pennsylvania, was established in 1954 to serve the Catholic community in this Perry County town. The parish was created during a period of post-war growth when suburban areas saw an increase in population, leading to the need for additional Catholic churches. The founding of Our Lady of Good Counsel was part of the Diocese of Harrisburg's efforts to expand its pastoral reach into new communities.[1]

The church is situated on William Street and has been a place of worship, community gatherings, and spiritual education for over half a century. It serves alongside St. Bernadette Mission in Duncannon, indicating a shared pastoral relationship under the same administrative umbrella, which helps to provide for both communities' spiritual needs efficiently.[2]

Our Lady of Good Counsel does not have a parish school but offers religious education programs to ensure the faith formation of its youth. The parish is known for its close-knit community, with various ministries and organizations active in both spiritual and social activities. Events like parish picnics, fish fries, and communal celebrations are central to fostering this community spirit.[3]

The parish has faced challenges like many others, including adapting to the needs of a changing congregation and participating in diocesan initiatives for renewal and evangelization. Our Lady of Good Counsel continues to be a beacon of faith in Marysville, providing for the sacramental and pastoral needs of its parishioners.[4]
