History

St. John Neumann Parish in Eagan, Minnesota, was established in 1970 as part of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis to serve the growing suburban Catholic population south of the Twin Cities. Named after St. John Neumann, a 19th-century American bishop and saint known for his work in education and parish development, the parish began as a small community and has since expanded significantly. Its founding coincided with Eagan’s rapid growth as a residential area, and it quickly became a spiritual anchor for local Catholics. The parish constructed its current church building at 4030 Pilot Knob Road, which has served as the hub for worship and community activities. Over the years, it has developed a strong emphasis on faith formation, establishing St. John Neumann Catholic School to educate young parishioners. The parish remains active, offering a range of ministries and liturgical services to foster a vibrant faith community.
