On May 30, 1939 St. Matthias Church became a mission church of St. Gregory Church because of the growing Catholic presence, approximately thirty Catholic families, in Evans City, PA.  The Church grew and flourished through the 1990's with about 247 families. As of January 1, 2017 St. Matthias was merged with St. Gregory Church once again, primarily due to the decline of Catholic families to under 100 and the lack of available priests, so the two Churches became St. Gregory Parish.  In October of 2018, St. Gregory Parish was grouped with St. Ferdinand Parish and Holy Redeemer Parish (which is a merged Parish of several Churches). St. Matthias's Feast Day is May 14 and the anniversary of St. Matthias Church Dedication was May 30.  Saint Matthias Church was involed in a fire on May 29, 2019; the damage was extensive and the Church was soon after demolished. Much of the contents that were recoverable have been incorporated into the life and liturgy at St. Gregory Church.
