The Parish Council met on Tuesday, August 7th and voted to change St. John’s Mass times due to the lack of ministers/volunteers and attendance. Starting the weekend of September 8th & 9th the following masses will be our new schedule. Saturday, Vigil Mass—5:00 p.m. Sunday Mass—8:00 a.m. (no music, no ministers) Sunday Mass—10:00 a.m. We ask for your understanding through this time as we adjust to our new mass times. If further explanation is needed, please contact a Parish Council Member.
