Please Support Your Parish Annual Appeal

Please Support Your Parish Annual Appeal

In the coming week, all registered parishioners will receive a mailing with their parish’s Annual Financial Report, which provides a detailed picture of the financial health of the parish.

The mailing also includes a letter from Fr. Jim asking for your continued support in the year ahead.

Last weekend at every Mass, Fr. Jim spoke about how special our parishes – and parish communities – are. Please take some time to prayerfully reflect on your contribution to your parish, and give as generously as you can. You make the mission of your parish possible, and your support of the Offertory and the Annual Appeal is critical to ensuring that your parish continues to thrive in the years ahead. 

Thank you.

St. John Parking Lot Reconstruction: Week 2

St. John Parking Lot Reconstruction: Week 2

Our general contractor, Ernest Guigli & Sons, Inc., has been making excellent progress! During the first week, the demolition of the old parking lot, compacting of the surface, and binder coat was completed. This past week, while the binder layer cures, asphalt curbing was installed along the fence lines. The curbing acts as a safety measure for people and vehicles and also adds a protective element for our existing trees, improving their health and the health of future plantings. The statue of the Blessed Mother in front of the Parish Center has been moved closer to the building where a small gathering area will be created for prayer and quiet reflection.

Work on the new driveway gates will begin this coming week, and the application of the top coat will happen over the next two weeks, so we are on schedule…

St. John Parking Lot Reconstruction and Temporary Weekend Mass Schedule Changes Beginning July 20-21

We are excited to let you know that we will be replacing the St. John parking lot this summer! The parking lot is long past its expected lifespan, so the project will be a major undertaking as it requires the demolition and removal of the existing surface prior to the installation of the new surface. The work will begin on Monday, July 15 and is expected to be finished by the week of August 5.

We will be unable to celebrate weekend Masses at St. John on July 20-21, July 27-28, and August 3-4 while the parking lot is closed.  During this time, there will be NO Saturday 5:00pm Vigil Mass and the Sunday 11:00am Mass will be celebrated at St. Paul Church.
