Please pray for all of us, for safe travels, health and mostly that through this pilgrimage God will pour down His blessings on our young people, setting their hearts on fire and filling them with a deeper love for Him. We will be praying for our sponsors and for the intentions of everyone in our collaborative while we are in Poland and especially at Mass with Pope Francis. We are so grateful for all your support.

Dear Everyone:Comments Off on A Message from Sr. Evelyn Ronan to the St. John Parish Community
Posted in Important Announcements, Special Events, Special Liturgies
Sincere thanks to all who participated in last weekend’s celebration to rejoice and honor Sr. Evelyn. As a parish community, we were able to express our immense appreciation for the extraordinary gift of her devout pastoral ministry.
Rev. Arthur MacKay was a genuine champion of the celebration endeavor. His thoughtfulness, support and enthusiasm guided a meaningful affirmation of Sr. Evelyn’s twenty-two years of dedicated service.
The guest speakers at each Mass contributed their beautiful, prayerful reflections on Sr. Evelyn’s impact and influence. With profound expression, Mary Gotgart, Lee Phillips, Jim Stokes and Svea Fraser provided personal insight into the blessings of Sr. Evelyn’s mission at St. John the Evangelist.
The co-hosts for the afternoon reception joyfully welcomed guests and warmly bolstered hospitality. They were Kathi Aldridge, Carolyn Anderson, Norm, Caroline & Allie Boucher, Ellen & Katie Burstein, Suzanne & Patrick Dowdall, Marcia Gorgone, Ed & Mary Gotgart, Deidre Heilbron, Pat & Mark Murphy and Debra Surner.
Gift presenters – to the delight of Sr. Evelyn – were Lauren Michel, Mia Songer and Joanie, Norah, Maggie and May Sullivan. They formed a terrific parade! The creative support, consultation and expertise provided by Sarah Connolly, Dottie Cullinan and Joe Tully were invaluable.
We truly thank each of these people, and many more, for their vital commitment, effort and energy. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
– The Sister Evelyn Celebration Committee

The Annual Veterans Memorial Mass will be celebrated at St. Paul’s on Saturday, May 21 at 4:00pm. This year it coincides with Armed Forces Day. We hope all veterans in the St. John-St. Paul collaborative will attend. We want to give all veterans special recognition. In order to do this, we ask all veterans to wear the medals they were awarded. They can be worn with your uniform, if you are comfortable doing so, or on civilian clothes. The latter is strongly encouraged as an alternative by the Veterans Administration for all activities where military service is being recognized. We salute your service to our country and look forward to seeing you at the 4:00 Mass at St. Paul on May 21.

Join 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.!
