Welcome
The “four pillars of stewardship” -- Hospitality, Prayer, Formation, and Service -- offers “four ways to live the Gospel message of Jesus Christ, to grow in the virtues, to live our baptismal call, to resist the vices, and to love.”
Pastor's Welcome
Welcome to the Roman Catholic Cathedral Parish of St. John the Evangelist. Our parish was founded in 1876, and when our Diocese of Boise (that in our case embraces the State of Idaho) was established, St. John's became the Cathedral ("cathedra" or chair) of the Bishop. The beautiful sandstone Cathedral in downtown Boise was dedicated in 1921, the mother church for the state of Idaho.
Most Reverend Bishop
Peter F. Christensen, M.A., D.D.
