Saint John the Evangelist Catholic Church, affectionately known as "St. John's" by its parishioners, warmly welcomes you to our website.

We are located in the heart of Center City, providing spiritual enrichment for local residents, daily commuters, and visitors to our city of brotherly love.

St. John the Evangelist has been bringing the Good News to Philadelphia for 179 years. Two canonized saints have ties to St. John's: St. John Neumann and St. Katharine Drexel.

In 1941, St. John's established Holy Redeemer Chinese Catholic Church as a mission chapel. Twenty years later we opened St. John's Hospice to serve the homeless.

Our parish is a community of communities. There is a group for everyone -- from young adults, to healthcare professionals to the musically inclined. Stop by anytime. We'd love to see you!

Young Adults Prayerful ProLife Vigil

Every Friday 6:30 - 8:15 am
followed by 8:30 a.m. Mass at St. John the Evangelist on 13th.

Come for the whole time or just an hour. If you can’t come, please pray on your own at that time or during the week in solidarity.

What we do at 8th and Appletree:

We typically pray the rosary, Divine Mercy Chaplet, Stations of the Cross and some other prayers and songs. Only those trained to be sidewalk counselors share information with men and women entering the facility. We could use counselors if you’re able and we would love to see many, many people praying for LIFE!


If it’s your first time, be not afraid!

You may have heard that pro-lifers are all crazy…it’s true! (Actually, this group is not mental. We’re just counter-cultural because we share the Truth with love!)
