State of the Parish     Did you miss the State of the Parish presentation? Attending State of the Parish is for all St. John community members, and is a requirement for families pledging tuition on an in-parish contract. Here is one more opportunity to see it:  Tuesday, November 29, 7pm in the church.  We want to thank every parishioner for all the ministries we have, all the Sacraments we have been given, all the things that we were able to repair or replace, and all the fun we have had together this past year making it all happen!  Come and see what you have accomplished, see where we are going and where your talents can help the Parish move into the future.
