History

Welcome!

St. John Neumann Parish was established in 1977 in the Archdiocese of Atlanta. We are home to over 3,000 families. Through celebration of the sacraments and participation in our many parish ministries, we are involved in the work of the Catholic Church in Georgia.

Parish Mission

We, God’s People,
in unity with the
Roman Catholic Church,
proclaim His word,
celebrate the Sacraments and
exercise the Ministry of Charity.

Parish Vision
SJN is an inclusive, spiritually vibrant Catholic parish striving for unity and excellence in all we do for the glory of God. The summit of our faith is purposefully expressed, understood and experienced in our prayerful and joyful community centered liturgical and sacramental life.  Our dynamic shared ministry approach is lay-driven focusing on life-long faith formation and quality adult education out of which we actively respond to our baptismal call to serve in love.
 

About The Saint

ImageSaint John Neumann was born in 1811 in Bohemia of a German father and a Czech mother. John had a special interest in botany and astronomy and spoke seven languages.

John Neumann's ordination was delayed by the Austrian government so he began work with the North American mission in New York in 1836. After being ordained he was sent to minister to the German speaking immigrants who were clearing the forests by Niagara Falls. John was a traveling missionary on the East Coast, then a parish priest in Baltimore. He was consecrated Bishop of Philadelphia in 1852 and was responsible for the building of 100 churches and 80 schools.

John Neumann died in Philadelphia at the age of 49 in 1860. He was declared a Saint of the Church in 1977 and his feast day is Jan. 5th.
