Msgr. John Enzler ’65 Returns to Military Road

FR. JOHN ENZLER

St. John’s is excited to welcome back Msgr. John Enzler ’65 as our new chaplain. In 2023, Fr. John retired from his post as president and CEO of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington and marked 50 years of priesthood. He celebrates daily Mass at 7:15 a.m. in De La Salle Chapel, attends class retreats, offers the Sacrament of Penance, and is available to the SJC community for spiritual guidance weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. He is also offering OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation for Adults) for those students and families who want to live out their faith in the Catholic Church. Fr. John is happy to be “home” and looks forward to serving his alma mater through his priestly ministry.

“It’s been 58 years since I left St. John’s, and I love supporting the students by being a member of the faculty and ministry team. It’s fun to be part of the Masses and retreats that go on all throughout the year and being part of the lives of so many young men and women who attend St. John’s.”
