Stations of the Cross Fridays during Lent, Feb. 19 - Mar 26

Fridays during Lent at 7:00pm in the Sanctuary, starting February 19
Bilingual in English and Spanish

The Stations of the Cross are a 14-step Catholic devotion that commemorates Jesus Christ's last day on Earth as a man. The 14 devotions, or stations, focus on specific events of His last day, beginning with His condemnation. The stations are commonly used as a mini pilgrimage as the individual moves from station to station. At each station, the individual recalls and meditates on a specific event from Christ's last day. Specific prayers are recited, then the individual moves to the next station until all 14 are complete. —from Catholic.org

Ash Wednesday - February 17, 2021

Ash Wednesday will be a bit different this year.  Due to Covid precautions, the Vatican is asking priests to distribute ashes by sprinkling them on top of each person’s head, rather than making the sign of the cross on their foreheads.

Ash Wednesday at home:  On the weekend of Feb.  13-14, individual packets of ashes will be available in the foyer.  You may take them along with a liturgy handout to celebrate an Ash Wednesday devotion at home.

 Ash Wednesday Schedule

• No confessions

• 6:30am Liturgy of the Word & Ash Distribution

• 8:30am  Mass

• 12:10pm Liturgy of the Word & Ash Distribution

• 6:00pm  Mass

Derrick Johnson Diaconate Capstone Project Presentation - March 6

Saturday, March 6, 10am-Noon, St. John’s Hall

Derrick Johnson is a Candidate for the Permanent Diaconate from Saint John's and is in his final semester of formation.  Part of the spiritual formation process is the completion of a spiritual Capstone project and the presentation of the project to the parish.  Derrick has chosen to research and present his project on Periodic/Perpetual Continence in Marriage, and how to grow towards each other and God during these times.  Because of the nature of the presentation, we ask that only adults or mature teenagers 17 and up attend (with parental permission).  The talk will explore many Catholic methods and traditions to assist a couple going through what can be a very straining and challenging time in the marriage. The presentation may be especially beneficial to those in the marriage prep process. Please join Derrick on March 6th, 2021 from 10 am to 12 pm in Saint John's Hall to hear this presentation. If you cannot join us in person, this will also be available on the parish YouTube page. Signups will be available on Signup Genius, similar to Mass signups.  Thank you, and please continue to pray for Derrick, his family and his classmates as they approach ordination this summer.

Parish prayer time at 6:00pm

We can’t gather together as a community right now, but prayer is a simple activity that you can do to engage in shared communion with your fellow parishioners, grow in your personal relationship with God, and strengthen our parish.  Father Steve, the Parish Council, and Leadership Team are asking every parishioner to pray nightly at 6pm for joy, hope, communion, and our parish.  Please pray 1 “Our Father,” 1 “Hail Mary,” and 1 “Glory Be.”  An easy way to remember is to simply set an alarm on your phone for 6:00pm every day.  Thank you for lifting up our parish in prayer!
