Will you help us reduce our debt, please?
In 2007, St. John’s faced a critical structural issue: the leaning, crumbling towers at the front of the church. The enormous cost required the parish to take out a loan from the Archdiocese in the amount of $1.2 million dollars.
Over the past several years, we have successfully paid over $400,000.00 toward the debt!
Please help us bring this number down to $0. Every dollar is important and counts. Please help us with this donation for whatever you are able to give.

$558,552.00 (as of June 10, 2023)
