With humble beginnings in 1789 (When Baltimore was recognized as the first diocese in the United States) St. John was established as a parish in 1853. John Church in Westminster exists to proclaim the loving presence of God to all in the community. This challenge and opportunity is based on the foundations of sacramental living, witnessing to faith by service and striving for unity by:

• Celebrat

ing the Sacred Liturgy with such joy that all members are motivated to share Jesus with others.

• Emphasizing the importance of family life.

• Encouraging and providing learning opportunities for renewal in the Catholic faith.

• Enabling each individual to use his/her gifts and talents in service to all.

• Recognizing that we need the help of the Holy Spirit in achieving the unity we seek as we acknowledge diversity.

• Reaching out to all to bring the word of God to others in our community and the world.

✨New Staff Spotlight✨
Get to know Seminarian An (pronounced Ahn), our new pastoral seminarian from St. Mary's Seminary in Roland Park!

🏠 Hometown?
My hometown is Bui Chu, which is a sub-city parish in the D**g Nai Province in the South of Vietnam.

🙏 Favorite saint?
I have devotions to two saints. My spiritual life is inspired St. Therese of Lisieux, especially her spirituality of the “little way.” For my vocation, I am devoted to St. John Vianney because I have a strong desire to become a good spiritual director and confessor.

🎓 Job before entering seminary?
Before I entered seminary, I earned a bachelor’s degree in software engineering and digital communication.

👋 Be sure to say hello when you see An's smiling face on campus!

‼️YOU DID IT‼️ Fr. Mark came down from the roof at 7:15pm after officially raising $40,175 for our parish and school community!

The 6pm Mass crowd really made the difference in the final hour. We couldn’t be more grateful for all who gave and joined us for all the fun. Thanks for Living on a Prayer with us!

😴 Time for Father to take a well deserved rest.
