Annual Mass for Firefighters

On February 16, 1899, Saint John Church burned. Four firefighters lost their lives fighting that fire. We remember those four men and all firefighters who lost their lives defending the lives and property of others and we pray for the safety of all firefighters. Please join us for our annual Mass for Firefighters on Saturday February 17 at 10 AM. After Mass, we will serve lunch which is prepared by volunteers and offered free to participants. The Firefighters Mass is a major Saint John’s annual event. We urge everyone to attend.

Second Collection for Saint John’s debt payment

This weekend, February 10-11, we will have our monthly second collection for Saint John’s debt. Our debt is still about $700,000.

Saint John Lenten Retreat

If you’re looking for something to do for Lent, attend our second annual parish retreat on Sunday February 25th following the 10:30 Mass in the parish center. The program will include viewing segments of the classic 1977 movie “Jesus of Nazareth” followed by reflections by members of our Secular Franciscan fraternity. Participants can listen in silence or offer their own thoughts. It will be an afternoon of prayer, fasting and almsgiving. A meager lunch will be offered and all donations will be given to St. John’s Hospice for the feeding of our homeless brothers and sisters.

Stations of the Cross

We will have Stations of the Cross after the 12:05 and 5:15 Masses on every Friday during Lent.
