St. John Neumann was established in 1977. The first Mass was celebrated at the old Eagan Post Office on the corner of Lexington and Lone Oak Road. The first Christmas was celebrated for 300 parishioners in a nearby barn, with temperatures of 8 degrees below zero! The first Mass in the present church took place on June 15, 1980. By the time the parish marked its 30th anniversary in 2008, it had grown to more than 4,000 families! Today the parish continues to grow.
