Family Faith Formation empowers, supports, and equips parents to impart the faith to their children. Our program for children in Grades K-7 and their families is organized in three grade-level cohorts, and each cohort meets six times over the year (October through April) for 45 minutes. All cohorts focus on the same theme each month, which creates a cohesive structure that supports families with children in multiple grades. Our theme for October is The Liturgical Calendar, and our sessions will be led by Fr. Jim.

Join us for an exploration of the Gospel through the lens of “The Chosen”, a video series about the life and ministry of Jesus, the people he met, and the people who followed him. It is primarily set in the first century and has been viewed by over 300 million people. We will begin with Season One. (We have already completed the first four episodes.)
This Sunday, September 28 is our annual Collaborative Outdoor Mass, which will be the only Mass celebrated at the Collaborative on Sunday.

We’ll see you next Sunday, October 5 at St. John for the 5pm Youth Mass and Youth Group after!

Hosted by Our Young Adult Ministry
To celebrate the first full year of Young Adult Ministry in our Collaborative, the SJSP Young Adults are hosting a movie night for the Collaborative community in thanksgiving for their generous support of this new ministry! Join us for an evening of cinema as we watch the movie Cabrini (PG-13) – we’ll be inside the Parish Hall due to the rain forecast for Thursday-Friday. You can still bring lawn chairs/blankets if you’d like to keep the outdoor vibe, but we’ll have chairs set up as well! The young adults will be popping the popcorn!
RSVP not required but appreciated for planning purposes…

As we approach the Feast of St. Vincent de Paul on September 27, we reflect on the significant impact that our Collaborative has for our friends in need through our SVdP Conference.
Our SVdP Conference provides support to families and individuals in our community who have hit “bumps in the road” and need help to overcome these challenges. Your generosity allows us to provide support in many ways: rental assistance, automotive repair and gas assistance, utilities assistance, food assistance, and more (including furniture, appliances, diapers, etc.)
the need in 2025 has been much higher than past years, and with the current funding status of government programs we anticipate that it will continue to grow. Your generous support is the key to our successful charitable works…
