Saint John the Evangelist Catholic Church will not be the site for VOTF of SWFL Seventh Annual Mass. The reason given by the pastor is that the presence of the VOTF of SWFL may be a transgression against the sacred nature of the Eucharist.

Fr. Thomas Glackin, former pastor of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, will celebrate the Mass for the seventh time.

The VOTF of SWFL Mass and Eucharist will be celebrated in
