Welcome to St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church Website. We are located in Plaquemine, Louisiana. St. John the Evangelist is often referred to as the “Cathedral on the Bayou.” St. John the Evangelist was established in 1850 and is now home to 1800 families in the Plaquemine area. See our church bulletin and church calendar for the latest information.
Join us for daily Mass as well as Sunday Mass. The schedule for both are available in the left column of the home page. Many ministries are thriving in our church to serve the community of faith and those in need around us. We are grateful for Rev. Greg Daigle, Deacon Alfred Ricard, the church staff and the many volunteer laity that give so generously of their time, talents and tithes.

The Church will be open daily for private/personal prayer.
Church contributions may be mailed to the parish office @ 57805 Main Street, Plaquemine, LA 70764.

Please call 1-800-348-2886 for assistance in getting signed up.
Finally, the Parish Office will be closed. If you have an EMERGENCY and need to contact someone in the office, please call 225-776-0168. Remember, this is only for an *EMERGENCY* situation.
