Welcome to Saint John the Beloved Catholic Church
This is the Church that Love Built.

We are a growing faith community located in Summerville, South Carolina. Under the leadership of our Pastor, Rev. Msgr. Christopher Lathem, we are a parish with a strong emphasis on welcoming. We strive to make everyone feel as though they have just entered into their Father's house, because that is indeed where we gather.
We strive for quality liturgies, which provide an inspiring and uplifting environment for reverant worship. Our church is rich with symbolism, and we gather to be fed with the grace of the sacraments.
We endeavor to be Catholic in the truest sense of the word, not only growing and living our faith in our local community, but also embracing our role within the larger Church by supporting initiatives throughout the Diocese of Charleston and around the world.
We enjoy a rich local heritage, being a parish that has worshiped at the same location since 1898. The history of our parish is intertwined with the history of our town, and it is said that our original church was the first brick structure in Summerville.
With an eye to our past, and an eager anticipation of the future, we live out our role as the latest generation in this beautiful parish. We are enjoying our experience of living faith. We invite you to join us!
Special thanks to Michael Giuffre for his knowledgeable contribution to the planning and development of this site.
