City Directories and History: The roots of the Parish stem from the establishment of Divine Saviour Hospital in 1938. The Sisters of Charity of Our Lady of Mercy in Charleston began the hospital in a house donated by the Church W. Carroll family, who were the only Roman Catholics in York at the time. In time, other families joined the Sisters for Mass, also held in the hospital house. As growth continued, a building fund was established and on Christmas Eve, 1963, the church was open for worship with 30 families.
