Welcome to Sts. Mary and John Catholic Parish

Good evening. This weekend we celebrate the second Sunday of Advent where we hear John the Baptist cry out, "Prepare the way of the Lord make straight His path." This weekend we will have the anointing of the sick after Mass and a second collection for alms. The Dominican Mass will be this Sunday at 8 am. This coming Monday, December 9 we celebrate the Immaculate Conception of Mary, a holy day of obligation. You can meet your obligation by attending Mass on Monday at 12:05 or 5:30 pm. You can also meet your obligation by attending Mass this Sunday at 4 pm but you will need to fulfill your obligation the weekend by attending a Saturday evening Mass or Sunday morning Mass this weekend.

Thank you for all you do for our parish. May God bless your weekend.
