For the November 29 event, live-streaming from Saint John's Facebook page at 9:45 AM Sunday, we have many activities in our St. Nick pick-up packages. To the right, you can see a couple of examples. Note that you should receive enough stickers for a manger scene, and for both sides of the ornament.

Discipleship in the Catholic sense is the process of helping someone become like Christ. To be a disciple of Christ is to become like Christ in everything. As such, Saint John's kicks off a new series of events in Fall 2020 dedicated to providing socially safe avenues for everyone to develop in our Faith, wherever we are at.
Spearheaded by Director of Faith Formation Joe Block, staff and a dedicated committee have crafted an exciting line-up of presentations and activities, geared toward sharing and growing our Faith in a family-friendly, socially safe environment conveniently positioned right in between both Sunday Masses (at 9:30 AM) to encourage attendees from both to attend and participate. Each month, there will be free childcare for ages 0-2 and 3-5, age-appropriate activities for older children, and engaging speakers or presentations for adults, along with delicious food, juice and coffee.
A typical Discipleship Sunday schedule looks something like this:
8:30 AM: Mass
We've intentionally set Discipleship Sunday right between Masses, so come early for Mass and stay for the activity of the month
9:30 AM: DISCIPLESHIP SUNDAY Food, Faith, Fellowship & Fun
Head to the Gathering Space/Point of Activity; grab a snack and beverage
10:30 AM: Mass
If you didn't go at 8:30, come early for activities and stay for Mass!
We hope you'll join us for any or all of these exciting events!
