St. John is a thriving parish community celebrating Masses in English and Spanish. Our Eucharistic Adoration Chapel is open 24/7 and provides a spiritual respite for prayer and devotion to the Lord.
The parish was founded in 1861, and church was dedicated 1869. It is one of the most beautiful churches in New Jersey. Learn more about the architectural highlights of Saint John.

— Mysterium Fidei, Encyclical of Pope Paul VI
