The Apostle John is generally listed as the youngest of the apostles of Christ. Church fathers identify him as John, the Beloved Disciple. John’s older brother James was also a disciple of Christ. John was banished during the persecution of the Christians under the Roman Emperor Domitian to the Greek island of Patmos, where he wrote the Book of Revelation. He is said to have lived to an old age and died in Ephesus sometime after AD98. He was the only apostle to die of natural causes.

JTM WOMEN'S MINISTRY FUND
Jan Torrisi-Mokwa was invaluable in enhancing the Women's Ministry at The Church of St. Michael & St. George, as well as founding the ECW Steering Council by lovingly guiding the group through a process that brought our value and mission statements to fruition. One of the ways that her memory will be honored is by establishing a fund to support the Women's Retreats that Jan so dearly loved. The money will be used to pay for retreat leaders, as well as provide scholarships for attendees. If you would like to contribute, please make your check payable to CSMSG and note "JTM Women's Ministry Fund" in the memo. Please contact Laurie Brown at
Laurie@csmsg.org
if you have any questions.
