Welcome to our website
On January 5, the Feast of St. John Neumann, Fourth Bishop of Philadelphia, Archbishop Nelson J. Pérez released a pastoral letter, at the core of which is a call to a pastoral change of heart, a conversion to the lifestyle and mindset of a missionary disciple. The letter also shares with us the archbishop's vision for the future of the Church of Philadelphia and invitation to all Catholics to be a part of the conversation about what that will look like. To read the letter, visit

In union with the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, St. John Cantius is hosting a
parish-wide meeting on Tuesday, March 25 starting at 6:30 pm in the School Auditorium located at 4431 Almond St. Phila PA 19137. At this meeting we will be updated on plans for the archdiocese and our parish over the next few years. Refreshments will be provided.
Our parish is on a journey to know, love, and serve Christ as a parish community. Together we must embrace Christ’s vision for missionary discipleship so our parish can thrive and be a place for others to grow together in faith.
The very first step in this process involves assessing our greatest strengths and opportunities, and that is where the Disciple Maker Index (DMI) comes in! The DMI is an important survey tool that invites you to reflect on your discipleship journey here at St. John Cantius Parish.
Take the DMI survey today. Here is the link https://portal.catholicleaders.org/dmi/survey/x82a46
● Your input helps strengthen our parish.
● The Results help leadership prepare for the future.
● A report of the findings will be shared in May.
If you prefer a paper copy, you may pick up your survey after daily and Sunday Masses. They will be located in front of the Sacred Heart Altar in Church and in the front vestibule in Chapel. To submit the completed paper survey, please staple the pages together and drop them in the collection basket or in a envelope, drop it off at the rectory. At St. John Cantius Parish, we are blessed in so many ways. Together, we will identify our strengths and opportunities in greater detail as we strive to grow in missionary discipleship.
Please continue to pray for this intention and for the growth and protection of our parish.
