Discover the Catholic Faith

Whether you are new to the Church, returning after a time away, or just curious, this is the place to explore the beauty and depth of the Catholic Faith--one question at a time.

Still Have Questions?

Have questions we haven't answered yet? Ask them anonymously below, and we will do our best to respond through future posts or resources--no judgement, and no question too big or too small.
Also, you can tune in to our parish podcast, Saint John Alive, where we have real conversations with people from our own community about the beauty, struggles, and joy of living the Catholic faith in everyday life.

FEATURED EVENTS

St John Evangelist is on a journey to know, love, and
serve Christ in our parish community. Together we must embrace Christ’s vision for missionary discipleship so our parish can thrive and be a place for others to grow together in faith. The very first step in this process involves assessing our greatest strengths and opportunities. That is where the Disciple Maker Index (DMI) comes in! The DMI is an important survey tool sent to us through our Diocese that invites you to reflect on your discipleship journey here at St John Evangelist.

The Disciple Maker Index is designed to:
  • Invite parishioners to reflect on their journey of discipleship.
  • Enable parish leadership to make data-driven decisions.
  • Help parishioners grow in their faith.
The 10–15-minute survey can be accessed through an online link from February 17th to March 31st, 2026, and will ask you to reflect on your own spiritual growth and enable you to provide your perspective on our parish’s efforts to help you grow in relationship with Christ.

All responses will be confidential, and the parish will only receive information about the community as a whole. We will share the link with you a bit closer to the launch of the survey. Paper surveys will also be available for those who do not have the ability to complete the survey online.

Together we must embrace Christ’s vision for missionary discipleship so our parish can thrive
and be a place for others to grow together in faith. Thank you for helping with this important project and please continue to pray for this intention and for the growth and protection of our parish.
