Peace of Christ Parish

St. John the Evangelist Church

St. John the Evangelist parish is a Eucharistic faith community that ministers to the spiritual, emotional and physical needs of its members and the needs of the larger communities to which we belong, to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ by word and by action.

St. John's is a welcoming, inclusive faith community reaching out to all people. Each year many families/individuals join our parish, bringing with them fresh ideas, vitality and challenges. We hope to make people feel a part of a community that speaks to their needs and hopes. Our faith community of 900 registered households is continually looking for ways to help people meet people. At our monthly Coffee Hours after the Sunday morning Masses, new and old parishioners gather and exchange ideas. A variety of social events get people involved and develop attitudes of support and care. ›› more

About St. John the Evangelist

Saint John the Divine as the son of Zebedee, and his mother's name was Salome [Matthew 4:21, 27:56; Mark 15:40, 16:1]. They lived on the shores of the sea of Galilee. The brother of Saint John, probably considerably older, was Saint James. The mention of the "hired men" [Mark 1:20], and of Saint John's "home" [John 19:27], implies that the condition of Salome and her children was not one of great poverty. ›› more
