St. John the Apostle

This is the complete Liturgy Schedule for St. John the Apostle Catholic Church (Main Church & Chapel)

The first step to become a member of St. John's is to fill out a Registration Form. They are available under the "Parish Forms" section of the Forms Page.

They can also be found in the narthex of the Church along with a return box on the table. They are also available at the Parish Office. You must be within the boundaries to join.

Being registered as a parishioner effects ability to enrole in our Preschool and Religious Education classes, as well as receiving certain Sacraments.
Registering with the parish and using our offertory envelopes or signing up with Faith Direct also makes it easier for us to accurately track your donactions for tax purposes.

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is according to this Adoration Schedule. Stop by the Chapel anytime during Adoration and spend some time in silent prayer visiting with the Lord. The Chapel is locked at night but there is always someone with the Lord, please knock on the door (not the glass) to have the scheduled adorer let you in.

To have a child baptized they must be under 7 years old and the parents must be registered parishioners of St. John the Apostle. Parents must complete a Baptismal Registry Form for their child and register for a mandatory class which is typically offered on the 1st Saturday of each month, if you attended the class within the last two years you do not need to re-take the class. Godparents must have a sponsor certificate from their home parish, and may use our Sponsor Certificate Form or their home parish's form. *Please note, there is a three month waiting period for new parishioners who are asked to be godparents or sponsors.*

People over 7 years old must go through RCIA or RCIC to be baptized.
