Our parish has provided significant support to the Prison Ministry outreach in Loudoun County on behalf of the Arlington Diocese. We are in critical need of additional volunteers in order to maintain the needed level of service to the population at the jail. We coordinate with the prison to regularly minister to about 20% of the jail’s population each week-including Catholics, other Christians, non-Christians & non-believers.

Are you a St. John's parishioner looking for a solid way to give back to a population that struggles pretty hard to get a leg up?  As Pope Francis reminds us: “A prayer that does not lead you to practical action for your brother -the poor, the sick, those in need of help, a brother in difficulty—is a sterile and incomplete prayer.”

We are currently in need of a new ministry leader to run this important service to our community. If you are interested in potentially leading this ministry please contact the parish office.
