St. John of the Cross Parish

Bishop Perez has assigned Fr. Andrew Morkunas to our parish as Parochial Vicar.  His assignment is to our parish, St. John of the Cross.  He will serve “part-time” here at SJC.  He will also serve as the Chaplain of Hillcrest Hospital.  He will live at St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Gates Mills since it is next to Hillcrest Hospital and he will be “on-call” most nights there for emergencies.

eGiving with Faith Direct

Many of you are aware and take advantage of the convenience of electronic giving to our parish and we are grateful for that.  We believe it is time to upgrade to a more streamlined online provider for our eGiving needs through Faith Direct.  For those of you who have yet to join us in giving online, I strongly encourage you to do so.  Here’s why:
Faith Direct enables parishioners to make your Church contributions through either direct debit from your checking/savings account or through your credit/debit card.  No more writing checks or searching for envelopes on the way out the door.  Now you can apply the convenience of direct debit to your parish offerings in much the same way as you may now use it to make your mortgage, car or tuition payments. Faith Direct also offers you personalized offertory cards to replace your envelopes for the collection basket.
Visit faith.direct/OH960 to enroll securely online.
 

The Hands United in Hope & Love Ministry, Padre Harold and the people of Chacraseca send their heartfelt thanks for making dreams come true. 
As we appeal for your continued support of the beautiful people of Nicaragua, we couldn’t be more excited to be able to show you tangible results of your past donations. Please click here for more details and pictures.

The Celebration Hospitality Committee will be selling the cookbooks after Masses the first Sunday of the month. They will also be available at the Parish Office.
