St. Joachim -  St. John the Evangelist

The Knights of Columbus will sponsor another blood drive in St. John's Lower Hall on Monday, July 11, 2022. Hours are 2:30 PM to 7:00 PM. Remember, one donation can save many lives! We look forward to seeing you there. 

We are hosting two pilgrim images at St. John’s this month.  An exact replica of the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe from the Basilica of the same name in Mexico Cityalong with a painting of St. Juan Diego (to whom Our Lady appeared and gave the original image) are at St. John’s until June 26^th.  These images are traveling throughout the Archdiocese of New York, and will eventually be at St. Patrick’s Cathedral.  Our Lady of Guadalupe is the patroness of the Americas and is often invoked in the Pro-Life Movement – please stop into St. John’s to see these beautiful images and to offer a prayer.

We will open the 2023 mass book on Tuesday, June 7, 2022. If you send in request lists, please include a second and third choice in case your first choice is already taken. Also please include the stipend for your requests – number of masses multiplied by $15.00. Thank you so much

Dear Parent/Guardian:

It is hard to believe, that wehave almost completed another year of Religious Formation. Soon our eighth graders will receive the sacrament of Confirmation as our second graders continue to prepare for their sacraments of First Penance and Holy Communion. While we assiduously continue with the formation of our children within the current year, we are also diligently preparing for the 2022/23 year.

As we remain dedicated to our parish as a whole the necessity to update our records becomes a means of communication whereas our parish can efficiently serve our community. Today your child received a packet, included in the packet is 2022/23 Religious Formation registration form, a calendar for the 2022/23 year and a parish registration form. At this time, we ask that you complete and return both the religious formation and the parish registration forms as soon as possible.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate in contacting me.

Serving you in Christ,
Albert J. Griffith
DRE

The latest scam to try to get you to hand over your hard earn money has hit our area.  It has people being contacted by a person pretending to be the pastor of their church requesting money. It is a phishing scam that uses the pastor's name as bait. The basics of the scam are that the church member receives a text from their pastor asking to make a contribution by purchasing and sending gift cards.  Please remember that you can always use the WeShare link to make all donations.
