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 merged with St. Ferdinand Parish and Holy Redeemer Parish (which is a merged Parish of several Churches).  Due to the number of priests assigned and the study of mass attendance which was completed prior to the merger, it was decided that St. Matthias could no longer be a regular worship site due to its size and the shortage of clergy. Beginning in 2019, Mass will be celebrated in May of every year on St. Matthias's Feast Day, May 14 and the anniversary of St. Matthias Church Dedication, May 30.  Saint Matthias will remain open for prayer on a schedule to be announced.
