A pastoral visitation team consisting of Msgr. Jay F. O'Connor, Episcopal Vicar for the Eastern Vicariate, and Manuel Aliaga, representative of the Archdiocesan Office of Parish Renewal, will be visiting St. John Parish on Wednesday, March 23.

The purpose of the pastoral visitation is to listen to priests, staff, lay leaders and parishioners regarding our parish response to fill the core mission priorities identified by Archbishop Lori in A Light Brightly Visible, 2.0 in our pastoral life and ministry.

There will be a general parish meeting in the church at 7:00 PM. We encourage everyone, especially ministry leaders and members, to participate in this meeting, which will be followed by Evening Prayer at 8:00 PM.
