St. John the Evangelist is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Saint Augustine, serving Catholics in Interlachen, Florida, and the surrounding rural communities of Putnam County. The parish is dedicated to Saint John the Evangelist, the Apostle and Evangelist traditionally credited with the Fourth Gospel, the Book of Revelation, and three New Testament epistles.

Founded in 1967, the parish has served as a spiritual home for Catholics in the Interlachen area for nearly six decades, reflecting the growth of Catholic communities across north-central Florida during the mid-twentieth century.

As a diocesan territorial parish, St. John the Evangelist is staffed by clergy incardinated in the Diocese of Saint Augustine rather than by a religious order, and it ministers to a defined geographic area within the diocese.

History

St. John the Evangelist Parish was established in 1967 under the Diocese of Saint Augustine to serve the Catholic population of Interlachen and neighboring communities in Putnam County. Limited sources are publicly available detailing the parish's founding circumstances, early clergy, or construction history; further archival research through the Diocese of Saint Augustine would be needed to document these details fully.

Over the decades, the parish has continued to serve as the territorial Catholic community for Interlachen, a small town in the lake region of Putnam County.
