Watch Fr. Crispin’s Stewardship Appeal! 

If you haven’t yet watched Fr. Crispin’s talk from the State of the Parish Mass on the weekend of October 29 & 30, you can access it HERE. As only Fr. Crispin can do, it’s a passionate and inspiring talk about stewardship in our community of St. John. Thank you to the 167 families who have already made their Stewardship pledge, which is just under 50% of our goal. Know that if you pledged last year, and we have not heard from you, your pledge from 2022 will be rolled over in January. To pledge, click here. Your ongoing support–in all ways–of St. John Parish helps us continue to be the vibrant and thriving community that we are. Asante sana.
