Hispanic Ministry

We, the Hispanic Ministry of St. John the Evangelist Church, St. John, Indiana, have united to achieve the following goals:

1. To more deeply understand and fully commit to our religious faith, and to inspire others to do the same by our example.
2. To actively assist and attempt to improve the lives of the unserved in our community, and whenever possible, reach out to the world at large, to our other brothers and sisters in need.
3. To joyfully celebrate our diverse Latin cultures, our familial values, and to educate others as to the historic meaning, beauty, and importance of our customs, both social and religious.
4. To encourage camaraderie and participation amongst not only our ministry, but that of other ministries within our Church as well as welcoming participation from others outside our St. John the Evangelist Ministries.
