The Sermon on the Amount was presented at masses the weekend of November 2nd. Click on this link if you would like to read a copy of this presentation.

November is a time when we as a Catholic community pray for and remember all of our loved ones who have died. To enter into this special season of prayer and reflection, all are invited to inscribe the names of deceased loved ones in our parish Book of the Dead, located at the Shrine of St. Joseph (the patron of a happy death).  All are also invited to bring photos of deceased loved ones to place near the Book.  This year’s collection names and photos takes the form of a traditional Mexican ofrenda. More information on this cultural tradition is available at the shrine. This display serves as a tangible reminder of the Communion of Saints which binds all of us, living or deceased, into one Church. The Book of the Dead and photos will remain at St. Joseph’s Shrine through November 30. You may pick up your photos after the Masses that weekend.

"My Son the Priest" A Mothers Crisis of Faith

"My Son the Priest" A Mothers Crisis of Faith

St. John’s is hosting a very unusual discussion after Masses this Sunday, Nov. 16, featuring two mothers of priests and their sons.

Kristin Gilger’s son, Father Paddy, was interim pastor at St. John’s a few years ago, and his good friend, Jeff Sullivan, is associate director of campus ministry at Creighton.

Their mothers had very different reactions to their sons’ decisions to become Jesuit priests.

Kristin is the author of a soon-to-be-released book, “My Son, The Priest: A Mother’s Crisis of Faith,” that has been described as “an exploration of faith, and doubt, and family that expertly balances tender recollection with sharp insight.” The book will be available for sale, and we’ll supply the coffee.

Please join us after the 8 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Masses on Sunday, Nov. 16 in Lower St. John's for what promises to be a one-of-a-kind discussion!
