HomeSt. John the Evangelist is a Catholic parish located in Slatersville, Rhode Island. Established in 1872, the parish was founded during a significant period of growth in the area, which became the first mill village community in the United States, thanks to the textile mills created by John Slater. The parish's mission is to "welcome, evangelize and educate; to provide spiritual nourishment, promote Christian values, foster peace and justice, and encourage service to others." Notably, it has served the local community for over 150 years, with an extension dedicated in 1987 to accommodate its growing congregation.
