St. John the Baptist called Jesus the Lamb of God. Jesus, a servant of God is compared to a lamb, the Paschal Lamb and sacrificial Lamb of God. The symbol of the lamb adorns the front of our altar. The lamb signifies the Blessed Sacrament and Jesus as victim. The lamb is pictured here surrrounded by a halo in stone.
In each of our lives Jesus comes as the Bread of Life - to be eaten, to be con-sumed by us. This is how He loves us. Then Jesus comes in our human life as the hungry one, the other, hoping to be fed with the Bread of our life, our hearts by loving, and our hands by serving. In loving and serving, we prove that we have been created in the like-ness of God, for God is Love and when we love we are like God. This is what Jesus meant when He said, "Be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect."

St. John's Weekend Liturgies
Daily Mass & Confessions

Our celebration of the Sunday Eucharist is the "source and summit" of who we are as Catholic Christians. It is here that we meet the Lord Jesus in the Word, in the Breaking of the Bread and in One Another. We celebrate the Sunday liturgy and daily mass at the times listed below.

"Sunday Mass is the greatest miracle in the world: the celebration of the Eucharist.
God speaks through the Scriptures. The Church offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving. The Holy Spirit transforms the gifts of bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ. The faithful share Communion with one another and with God. So nourished, the people of God go forth into the world to preach the gospel and to live by its demands." CCCB
