Divine_Mercy_JesusJoin us to celebrate the Feast of the Divine Mercy Sunday, this Sunday, April 3 at St. Paul Parish. The message of The Divine Mercy is simple. It is that God loves us — all of us. And, he wants us to recognize that His mercy is greater than our sins, so that we will call upon Him with trust, receive His mercy, and let it flow through us to others. Thus, all will come to share His joy in a special way in this Year of Mercy! Join us for an hour of Prayer and Reflection this Sunday, April 3 at 3:00 p.m.!

March 4-5: 24 Hours for the Lord

Posted on February 28, 2016 | Comments Off on March 4-5: 24 Hours for the Lord

24_Hours_Pope_201624 Hours for the Lord is a worldwide initiative called for by Pope Francis to invite all people to receive the mercy of God through Eucharistic Adoration and the Sacrament of Reconciliation. It is happening all across the world on March 4 – 5, kicked off by Pope Francis in St. Peter’s Square.

Adoration will be held at St. John Church in the Chapel beginning Friday, March 4 after the 7:00am Mass and concluding at 10:00am on Saturday, March 5. Please come at any time, and stay for any length of time! Bring a friend! All are invited to this experience of God’s love and mercy!

If you are able to commit to a period of time (in increments of one hour) to be present for Adoration, you can sign up online or by contacting the Parish Office (781-235-0045 or stjohnwellesley@stjohnwellesley.org). This will help to ensure that at least two people are present for Adoration at all times. Thank you!

World Youth Day 2016

Posted on January 29, 2016 | Comments Off on World Youth Day 2016

Krakow LogoWorld Youth Day (WYD) is a worldwide encounter with the Pope which is typically celebrated every few years in a different country. This year, we have 40 representatives from St. John and St. Paul parishes traveling to Krakow, Poland this summer. After attending the 11:00am Mass at St John’s together last Sunday, we held the first of our preparation meetings this year where we began to learn about the history of Poland and the Catholic church in Poland and specifically about the life of St. John Paul II.

We invite you to join with us and find out more about World Youth Day and our group by going to the World Youth Day link on the Parish website.
