History
Good Shepherd Catholic Mission in King, North Carolina, was established in 1987 to serve the Catholic community in the northern part of Stokes County. Initially starting as a mission of St. Benedict's Catholic Church in Greensboro, Good Shepherd has grown to become an independent parish. The church was built to cater to both the local and the growing Hispanic population in the area, offering services in both English and Spanish. The mission's foundation reflects the broader expansion of Catholic outreach in rural North Carolina during the late 20th century, aiming to bring spiritual guidance to areas with previously limited access to Catholic services.[1]
