St. John the Evangelist
a Roman Catholic
Community
We are located in Bergenfield, NJ. We are a community united in faith and guided by the Holy Spirit. This site on the information superhighway was designed to provide information about our parish community's various ministries and services. St. John the Evangelist is a parish of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark, NJ.
St. John's is a multi-cultural Catholic parish, with a wide variety of services for spiritual enrichment, youth development, and social interaction. As you browse our web pages, perhaps there will be something especially appealing to you.
Please feel free to contact us for more information, or even if you have any questions about our Catholic faith that you have always wanted to ask but were never quite sure when, where, or whom you would ask.
St. John's was established in 1905, and is still growing into the new millennium. It is our hope that, through this website, we will be able to reach out to even more people, both locally and in cyberspace, with the message of Jesus, so vividly highlighted by St. John the Evangelist, to love God above all things, and to love our neighbor as ourselves.
PARISH SURVEY 2025
I am excited to announce that St. John the Evangelist is partnering with Catholic Leadership Institute for the Disciple Maker Index survey.
I am excited to announce that St. John the Evangelist is partnering with Catholic Leadership Institute for the Disciple Maker Index survey.
Our parish is on a journey to know, love, and serve Christ as a parish community. Together we must embrace Christ’s vision for missionary discipleship so our parish can thrive and be a place for others to grow together in faith.
The first step along this journey is to assess our greatest opportunities and strengths, and the Disciple Maker Index survey is an important instrument that will help us do just that. The Disciple Maker Index (DMI) is designed to:
- Invite parishioners to reflect on their journey of discipleship.
- Enable parish leadership to make data-driven decisions.
- Help parishioners grow in their faith.
The 10–15-minute survey can be accessed through the online link:
https://portal.catholicleaders.org/d/c4y167
The survey is open from April 26 - May 31, 2025, and will ask you to reflect on your own spiritual growth and enable you to provide your perspective on our parish’s efforts to help you grow in relationship with Christ. All responses will be confidential, and the parish will only receive information about the community as a whole.
Paper surveys will also be available for those who do not have the ability to complete the survey online.
Together, we will identify our strengths and opportunities in greater detail as we strive to grow in missionary discipleship.
I kindly ask you to complete the survey.
