St. John's is located in
beautiful, scenic, historic downtown Brooksville and is
the northern most parish in the
Diocese
of Southwest Florida, which extends
south to Naples, Florida. Locally, the
parish is engaged in compassion ministries with
neighbors who are homeless, hungry, abused and
neglected.
We also provide educational
resource support for a nearby school serving the
underprivileged in the county. We are working with other
Hernando County churches and ministries to better
coordinate all of our efforts and resources to make the
most impact. Internally, we are building up ministries
of spiritual formation for all ages. We
have acolytes, scripture reading,
ushering, greeting, Altar Guild,
weekly Bible studies, and abundant
volunteer opportunities. St. John's is now on the City's
famed Mermaid Trail which takes you on a downtown
walking tour
of the City's historic buildings. Look for the mermaid
statue in our entryway.
Welcome Fr. Agostino Rivolta Sundays, December 15th and
22nd! We look forward to seeing him again and hope
you can attend our service at 10:00 a.m.
St.
John's will be open
December 20th, taking part in the annual Brooksville Stroll
down historic Brooksville Avenue. Look for our live
nativity scene in front of the church and stop in for rest and
refreshment. All are invited, and we hope you can attend
this exciting holiday event!
Sunday Holy Eucharist is celebrated at
10:00 a.m. followed by fellowship/coffee hour. We hope you will join us to grow our relationships with God and each
other.
Children's Sunday School will be the second Sunday of
the month at 10:00 a.m., joining the congregation after

fully engaged to both lead and to serve. God has a
purpose in mind for St. John's and for you.
