Welcome to Sts. Mary and John Catholic Parish

Good afternoon, as we continue the Season of Creation through September and early October there will be a Creation Care meeting this evening at 6 pm in the Ministry Center. This Saturday, September 20 after 4 pm Mass will be our Parish Picnic. Parking will be a little different at 4 pm Mass but there will be ample space over in the Cape parking lot and on Oak Street in front of Cape since they are closed on weekends. You can also park on 6th Street on both sides near are campus. I have talked to the police officers and they have assured me this perfectly legal. The bathrooms in the Ministry Center will be available for Church Members during the picnic. Please enter through the black gate next to the garage and come in west entrance of Ministry Center. If you are bringing a side dish or dessert dish please label it if you want it returned. If you have not made any reservation to come but still want to come you are welcome to attend. We pray for all those who have died and been involved in recent shootings. We also pray for favorable weather for the Church picnic and for favorable weather for farmers and others dependent on the weather. Thank you for all you do for our parish. May God bless your week.
