Whenever a county/city within the Diocese of Toledo is placed under a Level 3 Snow Emergency, during which all roadways are closed to non-emergency personnel, the Catholic Churches within that geographic region will cancel the scheduled Saturday Vigil, Sunday, Holy Day or Weekday Masses. Roman Catholics in that region, therefore, are dispensed from the obligation to attend Mass. If Masses are cancelled, Catholics are encouraged to participate in Holy Mass via television, radio, or internet, making a spiritual Communion. When Mass is cancelled, all other diocesan, parish, or school events in that geographic region are also cancelled.

St. John’s Online Giving has recently changed the platform that they are using to facilitate St. John’s donations.  We are in the process of learning more about this new program which is provided through ParishSoft, the parish’s census program.  They have currently automatically changed the login address.  If you try to access your account, you will need to use the email address you have associated with your account and ask for a new password.  Please be patient.  We hope to have more information for you soon.  Thank you.

The end of 2021 is quickly approaching, but you still have time to make a tax deductible donation or gift to the church.

All 2021 tax deductible donations must be postmarked or received in the parish office no later than December 31, 2021.

Collection envelopes: All envelopes and donations received in the New Year’s Eve collection will be recorded in 2021. All collection envelopes and donations received in the New Year’s Day collection will be recorded in 2022.

All parishioners are invited

to make ADVENT WREATHS

Nov. 20 and Nov. 21

after Masses in the Parish Life Center

All supplies provided!

Be prepared for Advent which begins Nov. 28

We honor this day by remembering our baptismal call – to bring the Gospel to all! The collection today for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith supports the work and service of the mission Church, as it provides for priests, religious, and lay leaders who offer the Lord’s mercy and concrete help to the most vulnerable communities in the Pope’s missions. Envelopes are in the pews and in the atrium. Thank you for your generosity!
