The Defiance Catholic Food Pantry

is in need of volunteers to help distribute food on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. The pantry is located in the St Mary’s Ministry Center and normal operating  hours for the pantry is 2:30 to 4:30 pm.  You can volunteer for whatever fits your schedule.  If you would like to help with this very worthwhile ministry call the St John’s Parish office or simply come to the Food Pantry during operating hours and check it out.  Thank you!

Celebrating Seniors:

Join us at St. John as we pray for and honor our veterans, past and present, on Wednesday, May 31. Rosary begins at 10:40 am with Mass at 11:00. Lunch and program follow. JD Grim will be our speaker. He will share his military story and how his faith sustained him. Hope you can be there for our last celebration of the season!
