Did you know…. That the wonderful Campaign Kick-off event held on Jan 11th was done at cost!! Thanks to the generosity of caterer Terry Caugh, a current R.C.I.A. candidate, everything from the rentals, food, drink and staff were provided to St. John's parish community at his cost. This giving spirit is what makes our parish the exceptional community it is. Thank you Terry, from all the parishioners and staff of St. John's. The food was delicious and enjoyed by all!!!

Vision for Our New Church Respect the central mystery of our faith - the Eucharist Show unity of the Crucifix, Altar and Tabernacle as the elements representing this mystery Enable all to worship through appropriate space design and use of religious elements Articulate our history in Leesburg Incorporating elements of our Little Church Provide a welcoming façade to our town

When can we break ground? When we have 50% of the estimated church construction costs in our building fund. and We can demonstrate a plan to successfully retire the remaining 50% debt within a reasonable timeframe.
