How To...

Welcome Newcomers

We welcome you to St. John the Evangelist parish with open arms. Whether you are new to Greenwood and looking for a parish to call home, or perhaps you are returning to the Catholic faith or wondering more about our faith, we are happy you have found us!


A Catholic parish is a faith community—we share worship, and we work together to live out the teachings of the Gospels. We share our gifts of time, talent and treasure both within our St. John parish community and through our ministries, which reach all over the world.


We invite you to engage with us, learn more about us and how you can use your time, talent and treasure for the greater good of all God’s creation.


For those new to the mass, we offer guidance in our worship aid, which includes directions (when to sit, stand, kneel) and the text of the mass responses.


If you would like more guidance, let one of our ushers know that you are visiting and we can assist you.
