Welcome to St. John XXIII

We, the parishioners of St. John XXIII, commit to be disciples of Jesus through prayer, worship, study and service.

Archdiocesan Days of Prayer for Journey in Faith

(2nd Wednesday of the Month)

Join with others throughout the archdiocese to pray for the Journey in Faith. We pray for the people, especially parish staff members and all who bear the yoke of leadership. In his letter to the Romans, St. Paul encourages fellow Christians to uphold steady prayer, "Rejoice in hope, endure affliction, persevere in prayer." We ask our loving God to make this time of communal prayer an opportunity to strengthen our bonds as an archdiocesan community. May this lifting up of our souls, hearts and minds together now rise as a pleasing offering before God.

In the harrowing confines of Auschwitz’s starvation cell, Catholic priest St. Maximilian Kolbe volunteers to die in place of another prisoner, joining nine others condemned by the Nazis. As despair and fear grip the group, the pressures of starvation, internal ideological division, mount. But throughout, Kolbe’s appeal to their shared humanity and Polish identity forges a brotherhood that culminates in a poignant act of sacrifice that echoes beyond the cell, illuminating hope in one of history’s darkest moments.
