Welcome to the CC of SJN (Catholic Community of St. John Neumann). From our founding by Archbishop Theodore McCarrick in October 1982 to our first Mass on Pentecost weekend May 21-22,1983 and a third Mass at the Lower Valley Presbyterian Church beginning on Oct. 2, 1983 we have been a "parish on the move". Our rootedness in the hospitality of the Christian Communities of Califon has given us an ecumenical perspective. We greet you as you come to our website and invite you to peruse our menu and come to know us. As you will note in our Mission Statement we were "formed with a commitment to Social Ministry" and are dedicated to reaching out.

We spread across the north of Hunterdon County, one of the far reaches of the Diocese of Metuchen . We are a "parish of choice" that makes a "commitment to community." We are united by a common goal to all be involved in catechesis fueled by the Biblical lectionary of weekend worship. We serve one another so that together we can serve others. We strive to echo the Word of God in our planning, living and celebrating. May you catch the spirit of our life as you page through this site.

We strive to be good stewards by sharing our time, talent and treasure that we may grow and preserve the blessings we have received. We recycle and share the spirit of our beginnings. We hope that you will share with us and email (sjn@ccsjn.org) your reflections as you click through this developing phenomenon of web site communication. Welcome aboard and smooth sailing with us into the Third Millennium. May the Spirit be with you.

Fr. Bill Mickiewicz
