Facts and practical information

St. John the Evangelist Church, a little more than a block from Philadelphia City Hall, just south of Market on 13th Street, is one of the more active parishes in Philadelphia. At one time, in an effort to serve a special population, it even had a Mass at 2:45 a.m. on Sundays for workers leaving their businesses at that time, called the "Printers' Mass," because of the many newspaper printing plants nearby.
