Welcome to Saint John’s Inclusive Catholic Community in Washington, DC. We are a spiritual home away from home for all who seek to know Christ, to grow in the love he asked of us, and to serve all God’s people worldwide, being available to all in both good and difficult times.
Habemus Papam!
His Eminence, Robert Cardinal Prevost was elected Pope during the Conclave and has taken the name of Pope Leo XIV on the Feast of Our Lady of Pompeii. This feast commemorates the anniversary of the laying of the foundational stone in 1876 for a church in Pompeii, dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary, that would become a famous pilgrimage site.
We rejoice in the election of His Holiness, Pope Leo XIV! From his chosen name and his first message to the world, we pray that he will continue the vision of the Church shared by Popes Francis and Leo XIII.
Remembering Pope Francis
Holy Father Francis, thank you for your pastoral zeal and the lessons you shared during your papacy. We pray that your witness to the Gospel will continue to guide Christians and all people of good will around the world for years to come.
We pray that the College of Cardinals will follow your example as they pray and prepare for the Conclave. May the Holy Spirit guide their deliberations as they select the next Bishop of Rome, successor of St. Peter.
