North Parish was established in 1968 when four parishes in Northern Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania combined. Those parishes were: Christ Episcopal Church in Frackville , Holy Apostles Episcopal Church in Saint Clair, Saint John's Episcopal Church in Ashland , Saint Paul's Episcopal Church in Minersville. North Parish was a mission parish in the Diocese of Bethlehem. The first rector was the Reverend Clifford Carr.

 Assistant rector was the Reverend Gockley. Saint Paul's Episcopal Church was closed in the late 1990's with many of its members being At present North Parish consists of three churches that are an integral part of the Diocese of Bethlehem of which the Right Reverend Paul V. Marshall is the Bishop. Our priest is the Reverend James Smith who was raised to priesthood from the membership of North Parish. Through Father Smith our parish has continued to flourish. The Reverend Eric Snyder also serves as a regular supply priest in North Parish to enable us to celebrate the Eucharist in each of the churches every Sunday.
