“If in fact Christ ‘fully discloses man to himself,’ he does so beginning with the family in which he chose to be born and to grow up.”
Blessed John Paul II
Letter to Families
COMMUNITY: Living His Communion Together

Family Life

The love between Christ and his Church, between the Bridegroom and his Bride--and the fruitfulness that springs from that love--is experienced most personally within the first "cell of communion" at St. John's: each parish family.

Prayer for a family

In good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, we belong to each other as we belong to you, God ever faithful. By morning and by night may your name be on our lips, a blessing to all our days: so may kindness and patience be ever among us, a hunger for justice, and songs of thankfulness in all we do. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen
