An Episcopal Church

mission work

Saint John's participates in mission trips to the Dominican Republic each year. The Diocese of Southwest Florida
has had a formal companion relationship with the Diocese of the Dominican Republicsince 1997. Adult missions are conducted in coordination with the Tampa Deanery, a group of Episcopal churches in the Tampa area, and the Companion Diocese Committee based at DaySpring.

St John's youth has also participated in mission trips, both in the Dominican Republic and in the United States. The youth mission teams are a part of our parish youth group activities.

Two mission efforts for which we have asked for financial support in 2009 involve continuation of the Episcopal Diocese's ministry to post-Katrina victims in New Orleans and the Tampa Deanery Project with our Companion Diocese in the Dominican Republic. A link to 2009 Final Report – The Tampa Deanery Project, Mission San Pedro y San Pablo is included here.

Included here is a link to the 2009 Mission Trip Appeal information sent to the congregation. For more information on how to become involved, please contact the parish offices.
