Welcome to Sts. Mary and John Catholic Parish

Good evening. This weekend we come together and worship the 32nd weekend in Ordinary Time and we are called to be prepared for the Lord's coming. As we prepare for the Lord's coming, we remember the dead and the poor souls in purgatory. This month is an opportunity to write loved ones names in the Book of Remembrance and they will be remembered at each Mass in a special intention for them. You may also put deceased loved ones pictures with those who have died in the last year. The book and pictures are in the back of Church by the Immaculate Conception of Mary grotto. We also remember all Veterans who have sacrificed for our country's good. We will have anointing of the sick after Mass and a second collection for alms for the poor this weekend.
