Pope St. John XXIII Parish and St. John of the Woods Mission are pleased to announce the launch of our brand new website! After months of hard work and dedication, we are delighted to officially announce the launch. The new site launch is available and the URL is https://www.psj23.org/

Our goal with this new website is to provide our parishioners of Pope St. John XXIII Parish and St. John of the Woods Mission with an easier way to learn about keep in touch with our faith communities.

We invited the parishioners to explore our new website. We hope you find the new website with a fresh look, easy to access information and we also wish to establish this portal as a source of information for those who visit our site.

After July 1, the mass schedule at St. John of the Woods will be:

• Saturday evening schedule remains the same as before, Confession at 5pm and MASS at 6pm
• Sunday morning schedule: Mass at 8am and 11:30am 

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 $27,791  from 87 families that is 23% 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.

Volunteers Needed For Church Decoration

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. Weekly flower arrangements, special liturgical and devotional events and Holidays especially Christmas and Easter. If you like to work alone there is a time for that, if you like to work in small groups there is a way for that as well.



I am stepping down from this ministry, and the first weekend in October will be my last weekend arranging flowers. If interested or have questions please call Joan O’Shea 253-531-5159

Altar Server Sign Up

We invite adults and youth who like to become Alter Server to sign up. We have a tentative plan for an adult to serve at the Saturday evening Mass and for youth to serve the Sunday Masses. Please sign up and indicate the Mass time that would be convenient for you. 

There will be a training next Sunday, June 26 after the 9:30am and 11:30am Mass

Ground Maintenance Sharing Program

Do you enjoy working in the garden? Then we have a great opportunity for you!
The idea is that each parishioner or family will take care of one small area of the church grounds (such as weeding, trimming and keeping the area clean).
See Sign up sheets at the entrance of the church.
Contact Daniel Soderlind at 253-377-1952 if you have any questions

Coffee Hour Needs Volunteer
Many hands are needed to offer Coffee Hour on an on going basis every Sunday. We want to bring back safe fellowship in a relaxed atmosphere after Sunday Masses.
