St. John the Evangelist Church in Boston, MA, is a historic Episcopal parish located on Beacon Hill. Originally built in 1831 as a monastery, the church now serves as a socially progressive and inclusive worshipping community with a focus on outreach programs for marginalized groups.
With a beautiful sanctuary hidden behind a castle-like exterior, St. John's hosts weekly Mass on Sundays and free concerts on Wednesdays featuring classically-trained musicians. Additionally, the church operates a soup kitchen on weekends and welcomes those interested in becoming (lay) officiants to reach out to the Parish Secretary for more information.
