"What we have seen and heard we proclaim in turn to you, so that you may share life with us."

1 John 1:13

As part of the universal Church and the Archdiocese of Washington, we the people of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Community strive to become a community of faith. Out of fidelity to God's call to us in Baptism, we accept with humility our role as disciples of Jesus Christ by following His commandments. We pray as individuals and together under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and participate in the sacraments, which inspire us to teach, build community, and serve one another.

We recognize our individual and community responsibility to live the beatitudes. Therefore, we seek to imitate the mercy and justice of Christ by humbly sharing with those in need our family, our neighborhood, our community, and our world. We work toward the unity of all Christians as we witness the wisdom, beauty, and power of the word of God as revealed in Sacred Scripture.

During our life on this earth, we proclaim the Good News to all we meet by our love, word, and example. Through the power of the Holy Spirit we seek:

"Only to do the right and to love goodness, and to walk humbly with your God."

Micah 6:8
