NOTICE:

Fr. Paul's Facebook page (Paul Ring Ofs) was hacked on August 8th. He is not selling his car, and anyone asking for money for it is a fraud! Please do not send them any money!! If you are on Facebook, please unfriend and report this profile.

Due to the hack, the parish Facebook pages are also suspended. We are working on getting them restored, but until that happens there will be no livestreaming or posting.

If you have any questions, please contact the parish office. Thank you.

RECYCLE DAY	Saint John's is having a RECYCLE DAY AGAIN SATURDAY - JULY 26
	Religious Education Registration Form 2025-2026 Registration is also now open for 2025-2026. There are 2 changes to note from the 2024-2025 schedule. The first is that the Sunday morning class will move from St. John to St. Ann to correspond with the annual changing of the Mass schedule. The 9:30 Mass will continue to be our Family Mass, so it is important that our morning class be at the same location. The other change relates to our ongoing implementation of the Archdiocese's directive to lower the age of Confirmation to 8th grade. All students in grades 9 and 10 will receive Confirmation in the spring of 2026. Their classes will remain on the same every other week schedule. Catechists are also needed for all grades. No experience required, just a love of God and our young people! Please contact Matt Brady if interested. Religious Education Registration Form 2025-2026

Prayer for Spiritual Communion
by St. Maximillian Kolbe

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in this Holy Sacrament of the altar. I love you above all things and I passionately desire to receive you into my soul. Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, come spiritually into my soul so that I may unite myself wholly to you now and forever. Amen.
