To all beloved Fathers
Words are not enough to say thank you
May the blessings of love of our Heavenly Father be yours
in abundance this Father's Day and always
Heavenly Father, you entrusted your Son Jesus, the child of Mary, to the care of Joseph, an earthly father. Bless all fathers as they care for their families. Give them strength and wisdom, tenderness and patience; support them in the work they have to do, protecting those who look to them, as we look to you for love and salvation, through Jesus Christ our rock and defender. Amen.
After July 1, the mass schedule at St. John of the Woods will be:
St. Ann Mass schedule will remain the same
The Visitation schedule will be Saturdays at 9 am and Sundays at 9:30 am (as a satellite site for the new parish)
Thank you for your response to the Annual Catholic Appeal this year. We have received gifts and pledges totaling $24,170 from 82 families of our parish. We are looking forward to surpassing our goal with 100% of household participation to fully fund our parish project. Please pray and make a pledge today. Together we can be Christ to others.
Our parish goal this year is $25,328. All gifts received over our goal will be returned to the parish for our parish project which is new carpeting for the Educational Resource Center.
Please prayerfully consider how you can participate in helping our parish be a light to others.
There are many ways to make a gift or pledge:
Volunteers Needed
This is an invitation to anyone interested in the decorating of the church. There are many varied possibilities to consider and with that varying time commitments.
