The vision of St. John’s parish family professes to:
~ celebrate the sacraments well. We root our lives in the Word of God and the Eucharist;
~ strive to extend hospitality to everyone who comes to the parish. We accept everyone where they are in life, with the hope of offering a life based on Jesus Christ;
~ accept the call to good stewardship by supporting the parish financially, giving time in ministry and sharing our talents to serve others;
~ work continuously for change to empower the poor and powerless. We develop relationships with those we seek to empower.
We are a parish with a rich history and a promising future. As a growing parish of 1,300+ households, we value the unique gifts, talents and backgrounds of our parishioners.
