The Parish Community of St. John-Visitation

Our Lady of Guadalupe
Our parish’s annual celebration of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the patroness of Mexico, the Americas, and the Pro-Life movement, will be held Sunday, December 10th 10:00 am Mass. Following the Mass, a procession will take place with the image to St. John’s School along with a social gathering of light refreshments.

 

2024 Religious Calendars
Once again, our parish obtained the calendars from The Catholic Extension Society by paying the printing expenses for them. This parish donation is made to strengthen the presence and mission of the Catholic Church in under-resourced Catholic communities across the United States.

 

Religious Christmas Cards
To promote the true reason for the holy season and “To Keep Christ in Christmas”, boxed sets of assorted religious Christmas cards, both in English and Spanish are available for purchase in the Parish Devotional Store after our parish Sunday Masses. Christmas cards may also be obtained at the St. John-Visitation Parish Pastoral Center. Cost is $5.00 per box.

 

2024 Parish Mass Intentions 
In response to inquiries about the 2024 Parish Mass Book and the scheduling of parish Mass Intentions, our parish will begin doing so on Wednesday, November 8th.
