Ave Maria, Bentleyville/Ellsworth
Ave Maria was established on February 12, 1994, as part of the diocesan reorganization and revitalization program. The parish was formed by merging St. Clement, Ellsworth; St. Joseph, Cokeburg; and St. Luke, Bentleyville. St. Joseph Church was closed and later sold. Originally, both St. Clement and St. Luke parishes remained open and served the parish. However, as the congregation continued to drop, the parish decided that it was not practical to maintain two church buildings. On September 30, 2001, St. Clement Church was closed.
