Welcome to the Spirit of the Mountain Cluster!

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, "Your God reigns!"
Isaiah 52:7

We, members of the Spirit of the Mountains Cluster Parishes in the Catholic Diocese of Richmond, are committed to shaping our lives in the image of Christ through active evangelization.

 

Spirit of the Mountain cluster is composed of three Catholic Churches; Good Shepherd Catholic Church located in Lebanon, Virginia, St. Mary’s Catholic Church located in Coeburn, Virginia and St. Therese’s Catholic Church located in St. Paul, Virginia.
