Welcome to Sts. Mary and John Catholic Parish
YEAR OF THE JUBILEE 2025
The Jubilee and the Eucharist
The Jubilee of 2025 “Pilgrims of Hope” offers a valuable opportunity for preparing and deepening our understanding of the true meaning of the Eucharist. To fully experience this great mystery an appropriate disposition of heart and mind is necessary each time we approach the Eucharist.
Prepare for Mass Well in the Jubilee:
Approach the Eucharist with a brief personal preparation in silence that helps you step out of the hectic pace of daily life to reflect on the mystery you are about to experience. You may pause in front of the tabernacle, where the Blessed Sacrament is present, recognizing that He will soon make Himself present on the altar, giving Himself to us in His true Body and Blood. It may also be very helpful to read the passages of God’s Word that will be proclaimed in the liturgy ahead of time.
Event Planned
Pilgrimage to Italy; The Diocese of Evansville is offering a 12-day pilgrimage to Italy from September 15–26, 2025

Catholic Charities USA launched a dedicated disaster relief fund to help those impacted by the wildfires. One hundred percent of all donations will be allocated to Catholic Charities of Los Angeles, which will provide critical humanitarian relief to those most in need. Catholic Charities USA and its member agencies around the country have a long history of rapidly mobilizing following disasters not only to meet the immediate needs but also to provide long-term support to communities as they rebuild.
Below are ways to give:
To make a gift, donors may donate online to Catholic Charities USA
Here is the link to the online donate page
Gifts can also be made by texting “FIRES” to 20406.
Donors may give by mailing a check to Catholic Charities at Catholic Charities USA; 2050 Ballenger Ave. Suite 400; Alexandria, VA 22314. Please note L.A. Wildfire Relief on the memo line of the check.
For a summary of Catholic Charities USA response, you may visit this website. I expect it will be updated during the course of the response.
