St. John the Evangelist Parish – St. John – St. Paul Catholic Collaborative

Please Consider Online Giving This Summer

As we move into the summer months and folks head out of town for vacations and summer travel, Mass attendance decreases – as does the Offertory Collection. This means we need your contributions more than ever! Online giving makes donating to your parish simple and easy, regardless of where you are. And when you set up a recurring gift, it provides your parish with more consistent funding throughout the year. There are several ways to do it:

Collaborative Giving to Second and Special Collections

Throughout the year, members of our Collaborative give generously to second and special collections that support important programs and provide much-needed relief in emergency situations. These include both Archdiocese of Boston collections and SJSP-sponsored second collections such as our Lenten Gift.

The chart below shows giving to these Special and Second Collections during the first three quarters of Fiscal Year 2025-2026 (July 1, 2025 – March 31, 2026.) All proceeds from these collections are forwarded to the designated program or organization.

Thank your for your generosity!

Honoring Service Members from Wellesley Who Gave Their Lives in Service to Our Country

This Memorial Day,
we pray for all members of the military,
especially those who died in service to others.
May we honor them by loving and caring for all those
they have left behind.
May they inspire us to live selflessly in our own lives,
as Christ calls us to do.
Amen.

Holy Week and Easter at the Collaborative

We are so happy to share these images of our observance of the Triduum at the St. John-St. Paul Collaborative.

From the solemn observances of Holy Thursday and Good Friday, through the Easter joy that was felt around our Sacred Fire at the Vigil on Saturday evening, to the very last blessing on Sunday, the SJSP family rejoiced in the resurrection of Our Lord!

Another Fun-Filled Evening at the Annual Father-Daughter Dance!

This year’s annual Father-Daughter Dance was held on Friday, February 6 in a beautifully decorated St. Paul Parish Hall with a packed-house of dads, daughters, and special friends. The DJ kept the party going with great music and fun games and prizes, and great time was had by all!

This annual event is organized and run by dads – a big thank you to Russ Morton and friends for making the event a huge success!

Fr. Jim’s Message to St. John the Evangelist Parish

An important message from Fr. Jim to the St. John community, offering a reflection as he enters his tenth year as our pastor and sharing details about the parish’s financial health.

Fr. Jim offers a glimpse of the Holy Spirit’s work of renewal in our parish, and invites us to consider how each of us is being called to support this work in real and tangible ways.

Thank you for taking the time to watch the video, carefully read the St. John Annual Financial Report and Annual Appeal that was recently mailed to all registered parishioners, and to consider the Spirit’s invitation to renewal at this time in your own life and the life of our parish.

Please Support Your Parish Annual Appeal

This year, in the midst of all that is going on in our world and our church, St. John-St. Paul Collaborative is focusing on the theme of Renewal. From our Adult Faith Enrichment Programming to our Family Faith Formation Program, renewal is afoot. We are blessed by a vibrancy in our parishes that stems from our newest parishioner to those who have been a critical part of this community for many years. From the youngest to the oldest, the work of renewal is all ours to do. This is work we do WITH God and FOR God.

This week all registered parishioners will receive both physical and electronic mailings regarding this year’s annual appeal. These messages and reports offer a glimpse of the Holy Spirit’s work in our Collaborative. They are also an invitation to consider how each of us is being called to support this work in real and tangible ways…
