Working Environment/Demographics:
St. John the Evangelist is the oldest Catholic Church in the city of Indianapolis. Founded in 1837 by Irish and German immigrants, the parish sits in the heart of the city and is known as “a beacon of light” for the city of Indianapolis. St. John’s is intentional about “Opening Wide the Doors to Christ” to invite all people into our sacred place. We are also intentional about “Going Out” to share the Good News with all the nations!
St. John’s serves six distinct demographics of people: Traditional Parishioners, Young Adults, University Students, Daily Mass Goers, Visitors to the City and Homeless Neighbors. Each of these groups have particular needs and gifts to share with the community.
Indianapolis is a rapidly growing city with over 4000 new housing units being built in the next two years in the greater downtown area. These new city dwellers are mostly young adults moving to Indy to live, work and play. Additionally, many empty nesters are migrating to the city to settle in their retirement years and to enjoy the sports, arts and social life of the city.
St. John’s has grown exponentially with the growth of the city. The parish is currently over 2500 adult parishioners with 60% of these being young adults, between the ages of 18-35. St. John’s will host 80 weddings this year with over half being parishioner weddings. The community has experienced a spike in growing young families and a vibrant young church. St John’s embraces this growth and is active in evangelization and sharing the Good News. Over the past five years, the parish has welcomed an average of 28 adults into full communion through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults.
