Sound System Upgrade: A special collection evelops are available in the church to help defray the cost of the $11,000.00 Sound system upgrade that is now in place. Many parisohners have commented how clearer the new system is both when attending Mass and while viewing the live stream masses on our face book page.
We have a few angels among us who have already donated $4500.00 toward this much-needed expense.
If you would like to be an angel, please make your tax-deductible gift to Saint John The Evangelist Parish, 2254 Mass Ave. Cambridge, MA 02140.
You can also use our electronic giving portal to make your donation. Select "Friends of Liturgical Music" Fund at https://giving.ncsservices.org/App/Giving/ncs-3859

Catholic Appeal: We are reminded of the importance of our parish communities that allow us to fully live out our faith. The support of the ministries at the Archdiocese of Boston help our parish continue serving the faithful in this community. Consider making an early gift to this year’s Catholic Appeal to help ensure these ministries can continue helping our parish, and all parishes, schools, and communities throughout our Archdiocese of Boston.

Giving to Saint John's: Posted 1/10/2021: The coming weeks will bring a new way of giving to Saint John’s which will be tied to readily available QR codes which can be scanned and by which a donation can be made so much easier. We have been working on this plan, which includes great ways to communicate alerts and information to parishioners almost instantly. We look forward to telling everyone more about it.
