St. John of the Cross Parish

Every Friday during Lent after the 8am Mass
March 8, 15, 22, 29, and April 5, 12

We are invited to walk with Christ, and what more fitting path could there be than the pathway of the cross? During this Lenten season you are encouraged to make a spiritual pilgrimage and walk the "Via Delorosa"-the Way of the Cross. Each family will be offered a copy of the Stations of the Cross booklet: Praying the Stations with Pope Francis. Consider praying a "station" each day in Lent. Let us set out on this spiritual journey pausing at each station to meditate on the self-giving love of Christ that can become our own lifestyle of love.

After collecting your responses from the parish survey, we are excited to invite adults ages 21+ to join our priests for an opportunity to go deeper in their faith on Tuesday evenings at 7PM in the chapel. The topics are based off of your suggestions and interests:

2/26—Sex Abuse Crisis (Fr. John Betters)
3/5—The Power of Fasting (Fr. Tim Roth)
3/12—Prayer: Overcoming commons struggles and finding union with God (Fr. Tim Roth)
3/19—Encouraging adult children who don’t practice the faith (Fr. John Betters)
3/26—The Mystery of redemptive suffering: sharing in the cross of Christ
4/2—Defending and living the faith in a world opposed to it (Fr. John Betters)
4/9—The final things: heaven, hell, purgatory, judgment and salvation (Fr. Tim Roth)

Join Fr. Tim Roth and Anney Roach for a Sunday Scripture Reflection on Tuesdays at 9:15AM in Meeting Room #2 (located in the church gathering space). Come and experience the living Word of God speak to you in the context of your daily life.

Post Cana Couple's Night a great night for all!  Almost 40 couples from SRW & SJC came together for a delicious meal, great talk by Fr. Dan Schlegel and then dancing.  Our new ministry will be offering great events to support the beauty of Catholic marriage.  Thank you to Fr. Thom for starting this ministry.
