Community is everything
Through both challenge and change the people of St John’s have prayed and played together and showed their concern for each other and for all around them. A parish is so much more than a fixed territory. A parish is a visible and true expression of what it means to be Church. It is a community of people called and chosen by God to walk the way, to be faithful to what is true and just and to live the life of Jesus Christ, the Son of God who is our Lord.
