About Religious Education
Welcome to the parish of St. John the Apostle in the Diocese of Arlington where we have been proclaiming the fullness of truth in Jesus Christ since 1838. I am happy to provide the assistance and direction needed to support St. John's children, teens and adults, as they seek to share a faith they understand, embrace and live.
Resources to assist in Faith Formation at Home are provided here for your convenience.
Diana Solomon, Director of Religious Education
