Catholic Appeal: As we begin the Lenten season, 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. Visit bostoncatholicappeal.org to learn more or make a donation.

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.
