Coats collection
Each year in November, St. John’s participates in the Coats for Kids drive by Anton’s Cleaners, a Boston-wide coat collection campaign for children, teens, adults and babies. Anton’s cleans all the donated coats and coordinates their distribution to those in need.

Each year St. John parishioners provide a Thanksgiving feast for the guests at Bristol Lodge in Waltham. Volunteers are needed to provide cooked turkeys and lots of “meal ready” side dishes for drop off at St. John’s the day before.
