S.John's Church


We heartily welcome all visitors to share in the fullness of traditional Catholic worship.

Our common life as a parish family is grounded both in the sacramental life of Catholic practice and the Evangelical proclamation of Holy Scripture. We invite you to return often and, if you are searching for a spiritual home that embodies the traditional values of morality, spirituality, liturgy and custom we invite you to make this parish yours.

We are members of the worldwide Anglican communion and of Forward In Faith, which promotes "an ecclesial structure in which our children and children's children can grow in faith; one that will continue the orders of bishop and priest as the Church has received them; one that can guarantee a sacramental life."
