March 19, 2020Greetings, Saint John's parishioners:
We are actively attempting to update our website to best serve your needs during this important time of COVID-19 self-containment in our homes. We will try to update a more robust web resource as quickly as we can, but for now, here are some key links:
Mass
KSTC-TV/45 streams Catholic Mass at 11:00 AM every Sunday. Additionally, you can check out these online resources:- Daily Mass on CatholicTV Daily Mass (English & Spanish)
- Daily Mass with Bishop Barron's Word on Fire
- Daily Extraordinary Form Mass (Tridentine Mass / Traditional Latin Mass) on LiveMass.net
- Catholic.org (various offerings at multiple times)
- EWTN (daily Mass at 7:00 AM, and a second at 11:00 AM Sundays) or the EWTN app
- 9:00 AM Sundays on Relevant Radio (AM 1330), online or on the Relevant Radio App
- Spiritual Communion
The Archbishop also recommends, in particular, these forms of prayer:- Rosary
- Liturgy of the Hours
- Divine Mercy Chaplet
- Read Sacred Scripture
We still have operating costs and expenses to clean the buildings during this unprecedented time; your Offeratory donations can be mailed, dropped off at the Parish Office (shortened hours, open to Noon only) or given online. For the safety and health of all, we recommend the online option. Click here for more.
Adoration
During this tumultuous time, the Archdiocese has given some leeway in how we can support the faithful outside of Mass, provided the anticipated attendance does not exceed 10 or more persons; extensive cleaning and sanitizing occurs daily; and persons in attendance maintain the 6-foot minimum social distancing practices. At Saint John's, we are committed to these requirements, and therefore are going to be able to offer more-frequent Eucharistic Adoration and Benediction, following this schedule: Adoration will be offered 10:00-11:00 AM Monday through Saturday in the main church.
** Please note: If you come for Adoration, please practice social distancing per the guidelines of the Archdiocese by having no more than 10 people gathering at a time and sitting 6 feet apart from any other people. **
Confessions
Father Tom will continue to offer confessions during this same time, 10:00-11:00 AM Tuesday through Saturday, in the main church confessional. This might be the most challenging part of social distancing, and we ask that you act with patience and empathy as we maintain the 6-foot minimum distance.
** Please note: If you come for Confession, all penitents must utilize the privacy screen in the confessional. **
