It’s Stewardship Season!
Mark your calendars. We are kicking off our 2023 Stewardship Renewal Drive the weekend of October 29 & 30, including the State of the Parish Presentation and video.
We ask that all of our St. John Parish members prayerfully reflect on their giving plans for the coming year. We will have an abbreviated State of the Parish presentation at all of the Masses on October 29 & 30. After the 5pm Mass on Saturday, October 29, a video will be available on the Parish website that shows our current financial picture, highlighting the great things you have helped St. John accomplish in the last year. We ask you to prayerfully consider your stewardship commitment for 2023.
