St. John’s Social Justice Committee invites you to pray in a public way for the wisdom and strength to meet the loving Jesus in all people who struggle in our world.  The Justice-Based Way of the Cross with reflections written by St. John's parishioners will begin at 1:00 p.m. on Good Friday in the main church.  Please join us.

At the conclusion of the Holy Thursday liturgy there will be a procession of the Blessed Sacrament to Lower St. John’s in the chapel. The Night Watch with the Blessed Sacrament will conclude at Midnight.

St. John’s announces its annual Novena of Grace in Honor of St. Francis Xavier, SJ. All are invited to join the Novena as we pray and are inspired by the call of Pope Francis to be “Pilgrims of Hope”. 2025 is the Jubilee Holy Year, the 2,025th anniversary of the Incarnation of our Lord, an "event of great spiritual, ecclesial, and social significance in the life of the Church." The concept of "Jubilee" has its origins in the Book of Leviticus (chapter 25) as a special year of reconciliation, pilgrimage, and coming home. Pope Francis has designated the 2025 Holy Year as a time to renew ourselves as "Pilgrims of Hope."

Novena prayer and blessing with the relic of St. Francis Xavier, SJ, at all Masses, March 4-12.
