Sunday, February 6: First Sunday of the Month-9am Family Mass and 5pm Youth Mass are at St. John’s!

Sunday, February 6: First Sunday of the Month-9am Family Mass and 5pm Youth Mass are at St. John’s!

Just a reminder that this Sunday, February 6 is the first Sunday of the month, and that means that the 9:00am Family Mass and the 5:00pm Youth Mass will be celebrated at St. John Church. 

Yes, we were at St. John last Sunday too, but that’s because January had three Sundays and we’re at St. John on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sundays of the month.

And yes, it’s a little confusing, but luckily it doesn’t happen too often!

6th Grade Summer Blast

6th Grade Summer Blast

We had a great group of rising 6th graders attend our 6th Grade Summer Blast Program last week!  They had fun learning about the timeline of the Old Testament, Saints, the Mass, stories from the Bible and more via brief classroom sessions and relay races, emoji puzzles, Pictionary and other fun activities. Thank you to Fr. Brogan who helped with clues for the games! The students also completed Community Service Projects, had Altar Server training and participated in the 9:00am Mass with Fr. Jim at St. Paul on Wednesday. We had a group who even “presented” the Gospel via a skit they created. Thanks to all who helped make this a success!

A Message from Anne Mears

A Message from Anne Mears

As many of you already know, I am stepping down from my full-time role as Coordinator of Pastoral Care from the middle of May. Although the decision to leave has been a very difficult one, I am looking forward to what God has in store for the next phase of my life.

For the past two years, I have also been enrolled part-time at BC for a MA in Theology and Ministry and I am looking forward to completing my studies there. I am also relishing the opportunity to spend some more time with my family and will of course continue to serve the Collaborative “from the pews.”…
