History

Saint Luke The Evangelist Mission in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania, serves the Catholic community in this part of Franklin County. As a mission, it operates under the pastoral care of a larger parish, specifically St. Mark the Evangelist in Greencastle, reflecting the Diocese of Harrisburg's strategy to provide spiritual services to smaller, more remote Catholic communities. The exact founding date of the mission is not well-documented, but it has been a place of worship for local Catholics for many years.[1]

The mission church is located at 115 Overhill Drive, offering Masses and other sacraments to its community. Saint Luke The Evangelist Mission is named after one of the four evangelists, focusing on spreading the Gospel and providing pastoral care to its congregation. Due to its status as a mission, it does not have its own website or dedicated email, instead relying on the resources and support of St. Mark the Evangelist Parish.[2]

Although there is no parish school associated with Saint Luke The Evangelist Mission, religious education might be coordinated through St. Mark the Evangelist Parish or through diocesan programs. The mission focuses on basic liturgical needs, offering Sunday Mass and other religious services, often with visiting clergy from St. Mark's.[3]

The mission's history is part of the broader tapestry of Catholic life in Franklin County, where it contributes to the spiritual nourishment of its members. It serves as a testament to the Diocese's commitment to ensuring that even those in smaller towns have access to the sacraments and community of faith.[4]
