Why belong here
Saint John the Evangelist is a small but welcoming bilingual parish where an international pastor (Rev. Regimon Augustine, MSFS) and a committed lay leadership team offer something most large parishes cannot: real familiarity. Active parishioners run the parish school of religious formation under Directors Daniel and Kaitlyn Brindle, sing in the Church Choir, gather in the St. John's Women's Group, and meet monthly as a Parish Council (2nd Wednesday at 10 AM) to keep the community close-knit. With daily Mass, a Saturday Vigil, and a Spanish-language Sunday liturgy, anyone moving to Marshall County will find an accessible Catholic home that respects its diverse, multicultural character.
