Activities & Events Calendar

Our Spiritual Wellness Center is up and running. The materials include literature and talks on scripture, prayer life, the Church and more. These are resources that are available FREE to you. All we ask is that when you are finished with the book, pamphlet or CD, that you pass it on to someone else.

Enjoy inspirational music from Fr. Sal's cd, "Blessed Beyond Measure," Songs include some of your favorite hymns like How Great Thou Art and contemporary hits like Lord of Eternity. Give one to a neighbor, friend, or family member for only $20 each. You can purchase CDs by clicking here. The cd benefits parish ministries.

On October 14, 2018,   Pope Francis will celebrate the
  canonization of Pope Paul VI and  Óscar Romero.

Pope Paul VI oversaw much of the Second Vatican Council and is remembered for his 1968 encyclica on human life, Humanae Vitae. 

Óscar Romero, Archbishop of San Salvador, was martyred while celebrating mass.

St. Paul VI and St. Óscar Pray for Us.

Prayer for Life
 Father and maker of all, you adorn all creation with splendor and beauty,
and fashion human lives in your image and likeness. Awaken in every heart reverence for the work of your hands, and renew among your people a readiness to nurture and sustain your precious gift of life. Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God forever and ever.  Amen.

Join Fr. Tim Roth and Anney Roach for a Sunday Scripture Reflection on Tuesdays at 9AM in Meeting Room #1 (located in the church gathering space). Come and experience the living Word of God speak to you in the context of your daily life.

In November, the Church takes time to remember in prayer those who we have lost during the year. As a special way to honor the deceased friends and family of St. John of the Cross parishioners, we will create a photo display to remain in the gathering area throughout the month of November.  If you have lost someone special this year, please email secretary@saintjohnofthecross.org or drop off their photo so we can include them in our prayers. The collage can include deceased who are either parishioners or non-parishioners. Photos that are dropped off can be on regular paper or photo paper. We will not be able to return these photos, so if you have one that is dear to your heart, stop by the parish office and we can make a copy of it to use on the photo collage. Please submit all photos by October 29.

Be a part of the celebration!
