St. Sarah's Parish, Apostolic Johannite Church

St. Sarah's Parish, Apostolic Johannite Church St. Sarah's is an inclusive, esoteric, mystical and sacramental community of the Apostolic Johannite Church serving the Boston area.

Sarah’s serves the Greater Boston area as a parish of the Apostolic Johannite Church. Our community is named for St. Sarah the Egyptian, whose devotion to others reflects the core Johannite principle of reverencing the spark of divinity–the Sacred Flame–present in every Being. Our work together celebrates the inner knowledge of the Divine Mysteries, which is called “gnosis” in Greek. We seek this

individual and direct experience of the Divine through the Sacraments and fellowship, service to our community, meditation and prayer, lively discussion and study. We meet on the second Saturday of every month at 5:00 pm at the Theosophical Society in Arlington, Massachusetts. We welcome anyone interested in pursuing a personal spiritual journey in community with others. Because we see the Sacred Flame to be present in all people, each of the Seven Sacraments is open to everyone. We are a vibrant and diverse community, bonded by shared ritual practice, study, and mutual loving regard.
