Welcome to St. John's
Parish!
Dear Parishioner,
A parish is, as we hear so often, a community of faith, a special union of all
who are baptized into the life of the Risen Lord. As a community of faith, we
gather on Sundays, not for our own private devotions and prayers, but to offer
together our prayer and thanksgiving to God. The more we become actively
involved in these celebrations, the more profoundly they can shape us into
authentic followers of Jesus.
A faith community is more than just a worshipping
community. Faith demands action. We are also a community of evangelization and
service. We bear a common responsibility to grow in faith, to care for one
another, to hand on our faith, and to look out for the needs of the people in
our community.
This website has been created as a way to provide parishioners
with information about how our parish attempts to live out the mission of the
church in all these ways. It has information regarding all the ministries and
activities of the parish.

If you are a new member to the parish, please register so that we can welcome
you personally into our community. You can register directly from this website
by clicking at the bottom of this page. Alternately, registration forms are
available at the back of the church and can be dropped off at the parish office
or in the collection basket. If you have been a member for some time but have
never registered, please take this opportunity and do so now.
God has given each of us unique talents and abilities which we are called to use
for the building up of the church and the healing of the world. We encourage to
you to use these talents by becoming active members of the parish.
May all of us continue to grow in sharing and celebrating the love that God has
given to each and every one of us.
Robert W. Ouellette, (Rev.)
