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!
We are looking forward to the return of the Christmas Youth Choir (in its 20th year) that will sing at the 4:00pm Mass at St. John on Christmas Eve.
After further consultation with medical experts, and cognizant of the recent example of our SJS students safely participating in school choir activities before the availability of vaccinations for this age group, we are modifying our protocols for the Christmas Youth Choir. While vaccinations are certainly strongly encouraged when medically appropriate, they will not be required for participation. We understand that the decision of when and whether to vaccinate in this age group is a complex one.
We have been reassured by the data, and by the medical experts we have consulted, that the mask requirement is the most important thing we can do to reduce the risks for all involved. Masks are required for all in-person rehearsals and to sing with the choir on Christmas Eve.
Just a reminder that this Sunday, November 7 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 October 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!
Do you feel a desire to be trained as a Eucharistic Minister?
Do you feel a prompting to proclaim the Word of God as a Lector at Mass?
Are you called to comfort the grieving by serving at the Altar for funeral Masses?

Have you been waiting for a specific call to serve?
THIS IS THAT CALL!

Our current Summer Mass Schedule is in effect through Sunday, September 5 (Labor Day weekend.) As we look to the fall, we are mindful that the pandemic is not completely behind us and that uncertainty remains. At the same time, thanks to the formidable work of scientists and health care workers (not to mention our own vigilance!), we can begin to plan more concretely for the months ahead, and to bring back many of the things that provide a richer Mass experience for our community.
We have developed a weekend Mass schedule for the upcoming fall through spring that…
