Due to a meeting with architects working for the parish, confessions for Wednesday this week are cancelled.

Father will be attending an event with the Knights of Columbus "Knights on Bikes" in St. Augustine, so no daily Masses or confessions these days. Regular schedule again for the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart on 6/27.

Due to scheduling with architects and engineers, midday confessions are cancelled on Wednesday, June 4

In accordance with the Biblical narrative that Christ ascended to Heaven 40 days after His Resurrection, our diocese observes as a Solemnity and Holy Day of Obligation this Ascension. There will be Masses at Noon (spoken) and 6 pm (sung) on Thursday, 5/29/25. For this reason, the normal weekly day of no scheduled activities for the week is moved to Wednesday (no Mass or confessions on 5/28/25).

Midday confessions on 5/14 and 5/20 will be canceled due to follow-up medical appointments. Thank you for your patience.

Due to a requirement to attend to some things medically, Father won't be available for the normal midday Mass and confessions on Monday, 5/5.

During the official time of mourning for the death of the Holy Father, the parish young adults group will publicly pray Evening Prayer / Evensong for the Dead at 6 pm on both Sundays, 4/27 and 5/4.

Join us after 6pm Mass Wednesday 4/23 for a Knights of Columbus Sacred Heart Icon Holy Hour, to include Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and Benediction, reflections from Pope Francis’s encyclical Dilexit nos, and elements from the Ordinariate’s St. Gregory’s Prayer Book, accompanied by choir. Spread devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and pray for Our Lord to make his heart our own, so that we may see and love in others what he sees and loves in us. You are also invited to conduct a novena, enthronement ceremony, and consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in your home

Candles will be blessed in both Masses on Sunday, 2/2/25. The blessing happens at the beginning of the Mass, so please do not be late, because Father won't do the same blessing for your candles after the Mass.

Per the calendar here on the parish website, announced on FB, and announced at the parish, Father is taking 2 vacation days Friday and Saturday this week. No regular Masses or confessions.

Our parish is quite small still, and we want to foster united across our parish community, allowing people to connect and support each other. For Christmas, there will be a vigil on 12/24 at 6 pm, and Mass on Christmas Day at 10 am. For New Year's Day, a Mass at 10 am. We look forward to a blessed Christmas season coming toward us!

We will move from Anedot to ParishSoft Giving in 2025, enabling to more easily integrate automated giving with accounting and database management. We are working on setting it up for not only normal general fund giving, but also with an option for giving directly to the building fund / capital campaign. The link for this, which will replace the link near the the top of the homepage at the end of the month, is https://giving.parishsoft.com/app/giving/stjo1663562

St. John Fisher will have Masses on Monday, 12/9/24, at 12 pm, noon, and 6 pm for the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

-- Friday is All Saints, a Holy Day of Obligation. To intentionally choose to skip Mass would be a mortal sin. Masses at our parish will be 7 am and 6 pm. -- Saturday is All Souls, NOT a Holy Day of Obligation, but a wonderful day to pray for the dead anyway. -- Sunday is the 1st Sunday of November, so TIME CHANGE (fall back 1 hour overnight), and monthly parish potluck after the 10:15 Mass.

Mass and confessions cancelled for Wednesday, 10/23.
