St. John the Evangelist
Catholic Church in Daylight, Indiana
A lot can happen in a century and a half, and many things can change. The pace and manner of life, the people, leadership, and families, even the national heritage and culture.
When the parish of St. John, Apostle and Evangelist, was founded in 1868, it was founded by a small but tightly knit Group of German immigrant families. Through these intervening 150 years the parish ahs been a part of three dioceses and led by 10 bishops and over two dozen pastors. Not only this, but even the church building and its location have changed as well. Finally, this last decade has brought a demographic change as the once rural farming parish has found itself a blooming and growing meeting place of over 600 families as the Evansville suburbs have moved northward.
Despite all of these changes, on that has remained the same: our precious Catholic Faith in Our Lord Jesus Christ. The Body, Blood, Soul of Christ our Savior has been offered without pause on the altar for the salvation of souls. Thorough that limitless grace, Christ has built up His Mystical Body in the souls that have formed the face and the backbone of this great parish.
I am so blessed to have been called to be your pastor, and to be part of this family in Christ. Laudetur Iesus Christus!!
