Welcome to St. John Neumann Catholic Church!
Every Catholic church holds a special place in the hearts of believers. We go to our parish churches to encounter Jesus Christ in the Eucharist, both at Mass and in the tabernacle. We bring our babies there to have them brought into the family of God, and we bring our deceased loved ones there to pray for them on their journey home. Couples exchange and renew wedding vows in their parish church. The repentant sinner finds the consolation of the sacrament of Reconciliation. In their parish church, people find the support and nourishment that can only be given by other members of the Body of Christ.
Welcome to the parish church of St. John Neumann – 1825 households strong, 72 of which have joined us since July 2012! Pray with us, worship with us, walk with us as we grow in our identity as daughters and sons of a loving Father and faithful disciples of Jesus Christ!

Consider automating your donations with our electronc giving program. Electronic giving is convenient for you and provides much needed consistency for our parish. There is no cost to you to participate. And if you travel or other circumstances prevent you from attending mass, this program will allow your monthly offerings to continue uninterrupted. Many of our families have taken advantage of this easy-to-use approach to contributing to our parish ministries. If you are interested, please complete an Electronic Giving Form or contact Deacon Dave Kolesky in our parish office at 410-208-2956. The form can be found on the parish website, in the Online Giving tab, in the gathering space, and at the parish office. All online giving information is secure and kept totally confidential.
PLEASE, if you have not signed up for our "remind.com" information service, send an email to sjnremind@gmail.com to do that now. You'll need to give your name with either your CELL phone (not your landline) and/or your email address. Then, watch your text messages and emails. You will receive either a text or an email from remind.com that will give you instructions on how to complete your registration. If you HAVE signed up but are not receiving messages from Fr. Cocucci, that means that you did not respond to the text or email sent by remind.com.
