The History of St. Mark's in Moscow
In the late 19th century, St. Luke's Episcopal Church of Scranton, PA established an Episcopal mission in the nearby borough of Dunmore. Services were held in Tripp Avenue Christian Church until the church building on Potter Avenue in Dunmore was erected in 1895.
The church remained a mission for 28 years, having been officially organized as such on February 27, 1904. It was incorporated as an independent parish on July 17, 1932.
In 1966, St. Mark's again became an aided parish and under the direction of Rev. Jack Cronberger the parish purchased land and moved to a dwelling on Main Street in Moscow. The dwelling served as church and rectory. In 1972, under Rev. Cronberger's term, the present church and a rectory were built in the North Pocono area (1972). At the end of Rev. Fotch's term, the rectory was sold.
