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 some of the
poorest 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,
choir, 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 tour
of the City's historic buildings. Look for the mermaid
statue and the QR code for a brief history of the
parish. |

Sunday Holy Eucharist is
celebrated at 10:00 a.m. followed by fellowship/coffee
hour. We are blessed to have Fr. Ed Rich
celebrating Eucharist Sundays,
June 11th and 25th. During the summer we will be
having Morning Prayer the first and third Sundays of the
month (with communion) and a supply priest the second
and fourth Sundays. The Diocesan office is actively
seeking a priest-in-charge for St. John's and we look
forward to welcoming a new priest.
For a full list of regular activities, please click our
Events link. Our Vestry is lively, positive, and fully
engaged to both lead and to serve. God
has a purpose in mind for St. John's and for you.
