Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. ~ John 15:13
St. John the Apostle Catholic Church and School is located near many military and government installations.
We honor, respect, and appreciate the men and women who serve our country. As a parish and school, we have a strong commitment to support and to pray for our military and their families.
We welcome our military and government service workers to St. John’s where your spiritual and academic needs are met and exceeded. If you are seeking a home, please let us welcome you into our St. John’s family, and know that we will do all we can to make this your home while you are stationed in our area.
Our mission is to be a place where all are welcome as we respond to the needs of our community and the world through Word, Worship, Stewardship and Service. We understand that military families have unique needs and situations. We do our best to meet those needs.
We would be happy to answer any questions at 757.426.2180 or [email protected].
Thank you for your service to God and to our country.
May God bless you always.
The son of a senior officer in the Roman army, St. Martin of Tours began a military career at an early age. But after he cut his cloak in half to share it with a naked beggar, Martin had a powerful vision of Christ, confirming his vocation to prayer, evangelization, and service to the poor.
St. Martin of Tours, patron of soldiers, pray for us!
