A Word of Welcome
On behalf of St. John's parish community, I would like to welcome you to our website. Our parish is a vibrant, welcoming Roman Catholic community where the traditions of our Catholic faith are celebrated. The Word of God is preached to all ages, and our young are formed in the Catholic way of life through our exceptional "Blue Ribbon" school and programs of religious education and youth ministry.
Through our worship, learning, and service we come to experience and celebrate the presence of Christ in the midst of our community. I invite you to explore our site to learn of the many wonderful things happening here at St. John the Evangelist.
Each parishioner is a valued member of our community. If there is any way that I, or any member of the staff, might be of assistance, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Your brother in the Lord,
Fr. Jim Proffitt
Pastor
