Registration for “World Youth Day Lisbon 2023” is Now Open!

The St. John-St. Paul Collaborative is sending a group of young pilgrims to World Youth Day Lisbon 2023 next summer!  

For more information and to sign up, please visit the World Youth Day page on the Religious Education website.

World Youth Day (WYD) is a worldwide encounter with the Pope which is typically celebrated every few years in a different country. St. Paul and St. John parishes have a rich history attending WYD. We have missed only the WYD in Panama in 2019 –  otherwise we have sent a decent sized group to every WYD stretching back to Rome in 2000! That’s 21 years of participation in this incredible life changing event! It has proven to be one of the best things we do for the youth of our community, and it energizes the parish as a whole…

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!

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.”…
