“The priest is a man who belongs totally to the Lord, for it is [Christ] himself who has called him and establishes him in his apostolic service. For the very reason that he belongs completely to the Lord, he belongs completely to the people, for the people.”
WORSHIP: The Intimate Encounter with Christ
His Priests
Our priests are, first and foremost, priests of Jesus Christ, signed with a special character at ordination so they can offer his divine life and love to the parishioners of St. John’s.

Mission of Prayer for Priests
Our parish has undertaken a mission of prayer to honor and support the men who have been chosen by Christ himself to be his priests. Parishioners will welcome a blessed chalice, paten, candle and booklet of prayers into their homes for a week. During that time, they will be asked to pray together for the intentions of our parish priests, priests around the world, and for an increase in vocations to the priesthood and the religious life. Family, group and single households are all encouraged to participate! Contact Maureen Hathway at cmhathway [at] verizon.net
