From the Pastor’s Desk
Dear Parishioners!

Think for a moment about the most special person in your life. Why do you love them? Many people will answer that question noting character traits they admire about the person, pointing to an indescribable compatibility that exists and describing a deep sense of connection and intimacy or even sense of rightness about the relationship. In relationships that are authentic and true, rarely are the personal benefits gained from the relationship noted as motivating factors for its pursuit. If we truly love someone we do so simply because it is right and good to do so and not for some other self-serving reason. Why do you love God? The sense of happiness and gift of mercy that come from that relationship are God’s to give, regardless of when in life we come to him. God’s wats are different than ours.

New Offering Mailbox

Dear Parishioners

We all know how difficult these times are for everybody. Your dedication and love for Saint John Church is truly visible as we receive well wish cards and continued donations. For your convenience, we installed a secure mailbox near the statue of the Virgen Mary for easy access to leave your donations. Stop by with your offerings and spend a few minutes with our Mother Mary in prayer.
