St. John the Evangelist

We, the people of God gathered as Saint John the Evangelist faith community share the life-giving Word, the Eucharist and the sacraments, so that all might come to believe in the Son and have eternal life. Given this abundant life, we feel called to share our gifts and our faith with others.

Forward with Faith

Investing inthe Church’s Future

Saint John the Evangelist Parish is asking for your participation in Forward with Faith, an archdiocesan-wide capital campaign with a mission of investing in the Church’s future needs by strengthening its parishes, schools, faith formation programs and social service ministries.  50% of the monies raised will meet needs throughout the Archdiocese;  50% goes back to the parish.

Ongoing donations have brought our pledged amount up to $291,717.00 of which 50% will be given back to our parish.

Dependent upon the total amount of money pledged, the monies that remain in the parish will be used for:

• installing handicap accessible bathrooms on the main level,
• repairing the flooding problem at the rectory,
• upgrades to the church sacristy including flooring, wiring and painting,
• dedicating space for multi-media resources supporting Catechesis and Evangelization.

Any excess funds would be applied to the expense of installing an elevator.

Separate from the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal - in which the money collected each year is distributed to the ministries of the archdiocese to support them one year at a time - Forward with Faith makes strategic long-term investments in local parish communities, Catholic social service providers and innovative Catholic education programs for schools and parishes.

Pledge envelopes are available at the exits of the church and at the Parish Office. 

Forward with Faith is managed by The Hartford Bishops’ Foundation (HBF), an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the mission of the Archdiocese of Hartford. To learn more about HBF and Forward with Faith please visit
