The Charism of The Community of Saint John
Rooted in the Gospel of Saint John
The members of the Community of Saint John seek to live fully the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity, and obedience in a spirit rooted in the Gospel of Saint John. Their spirit flows from three of the features of Saint John’s holiness found in his Gospel.
By placing the spirit of the Beloved Disciple in the context of the New Evangelization, the Community of Saint John reaches out to young people by providing the milieu for their authentic personal growth and formation in our Catholic Faith.
