Birthline Baby Bottle Fundraiser

A LITTLE CHANGE CAN CHANGE LIVES

Birthline of Loveland will have baby bottles available in the church foyer the weekend of October 15-16.  Please take a bottle and fill with coins, cash, or checks and bring back to church.  By filling the bottles, you are supporting the life-affirming work at Birthline and helping to save the lives of unborn babies.  Thanks to your gifts during last year’s baby bottle fundraiser, you helped provide free pregnancy tests, advocates (lay counseling for moms and dads), baby clothes, maternity clothes, layettes for new moms, and referrals to services in the community.   Your gifts this year can also help fulfill Birthline’s vision for a new maternity home in Northern Colorado.  www.birthlineloveland.org

Enduring Hope Debt Reduction Campaign

Thanks to your generosity, from 2020-2021 St. John the Evangelist underwent much needed renovations and expansion. The construction was financed through the Blessed Past, Faithful Future capital campaign, parish savings, and a loan from the Archdiocese of Denver. The goal of the Enduring Hope campaign is to pay back the loan. By doing so, not only will our parish be debt-free once again, but the Archdiocese will also be able to loan money to other churches in Northern Colorado for their capital needs.

Let us be faithful stewards of what we have been given and show God’s grace to the church in Northern Colorado.

Rev. Shannon Thurman announced as new Pastor at St. John's

The Archdiocese of Denver announced clergy assignments last week. We are excited to share that Rev. Shannon Thurman will be the new pastor at St. John's, starting in July. Fr. Shannon was ordained in 2018, celebrated his first Mass at St. John’s, and was a parishioner here before answering the call to the priesthood. Please keep Fr. Shannon in your prayers as we look forward to welcoming him back to our parish.
