Since its inception in 1861, St. John's has been faithful to the mission set out by our founder, Father Edmund Wood: to uphold the fullness of Catholic faith and worship within the Anglican Communion. We believe in the centrality of Catholic worship and are committed to serving God in "the beauty of holiness" through the perfection of ritual, word, and music. "Openness to all" is a fundamental characteristic of the parish. Such openness brings together people from a broad spectrum of origins, opinions, and life experiences, making the congregation diverse, interesting, and stimulating.St. Johns' is characterized by a strong sense of Catholic tradition: an orthodox and faithful theological and doctrinal outlook, a caring and compassionate attitude on moral and social issues, a full liturgical calendar, a liturgy faithful to the Western Rite, a rich and varied musical offering, and a diverse devotional life.In addition, the parish is defined by its situation in a non-residential area, near the city centre, universities, shops, offices, and theatres. The area has relatively few young families; rather it is peopled by singles, youths, students, the elderly, the widowed, the divorced, gays, and couples living in non-traditional situations.
