55 Church St. Ellijay, GA, 30540 706 636-2772
Welcome to Good Samaritan Catholic Church on the web! Jesus, the Great Good Samaritan, picks us up from the gutter of the road in our lives and brings us to the "inn" that is his Church. It is in this place that we find real food, rest, and healing through the Sacrifice of the Mass, the sacraments, and lives of service. Here, in our humble "inn" in Ellijay, Georgia, Jesus Christ gives us the strength and Grace to learn to truly become good samaritans for others!
So come, make yourself at home, and be a part of our family here at Good Samaritan Catholic Church in Ellijay. Browse the pages, read Father's blog over at Days of Grace, or drop us an email from time to time. Of course, if you are ever in Ellijay, please come by and thank our Lord with us at Mass!
