In 1978, 18 Catholic families began celebrating mass each week in the hope of establishing a mission parish here in Chapin. Early venues were the old Methodist Church, the old Chapin Rec Center and finally Whitaker funeral home. Father Burton, Pastor of Our Lady of the Hills, Father Suggs, Father Henry Burke and Father Sidney Gilley all had a hand in guiding this growing group toward becoming an i
ndependent parish. Our first mass in the old sanctuary, now known as St. Our mission church was finally recognized as a parish in 1995 by Bishop David Thompson with Father Andrew Vollkomer as Pastor. Today we celebrate mass in a new church made possible by the vision of our parishioners, Father Andrew and the diocese of Charleston. Concepts for our new building evolved as parish growth, building code considerations and diocesan requirements all impacted our planning and design. Through it all our Catholic community persevered with the same vision and spirit that enabled our first Church construction. Vision became reality on April 17, 2016 with the consecration of our new church building by Bishop Robert Guglielmone with a wonderfully church packed event attended by many parishioners, Chapin community leaders, local priests including Father Dennis Willey who was to become our Pastor.
