History
Good Samaritan Catholic Church in Ellijay, Georgia, was established in 1996, initially starting as a mission of St. Anthony’s in Blue Ridge. It became an independent parish to serve the growing Catholic community in Gilmer County, an area known for its scenic beauty in the North Georgia Mountains. The parish reflects the spirit of its name by engaging in community service and outreach, particularly through the St. Vincent de Paul Society, which is active in helping those in need within the local area. Good Samaritan has grown from its humble beginnings, focusing on fostering a tight-knit community where the celebration of faith is central to its activities.[1][2]
