We are excited that you would like to return to the church and parish life, and we hope that you find St. John the Evangelist and St. Joseph to be a welcoming new home.
If you need a concierge of sorts, someone to point you in the right direction and introduce you to the ministry leaders that can help you, call or text Paul Mahar.
The process for returning to the Catholic Church after a time away from regular Sunday Mass attendance and living a life outside of church teachings is through the Sacrament of Reconciliation. But do not think about this beautiful Sacrament as if it is like going to the principal's office! Rather, there is joy and love and mercy - and excitement! - waiting for you. There is NOTHING that the Lord will not forgive, and He is present in the priest during the Sacrament.

If it's been a while since you last celebrated Mass - or if you never really understood what we do and say at Mass - a little brush up will help make the celebration more meaningful. In the short video series below, Jeff Cavins makes Sunday Mass come alive by illuminating the deep meanings behind the activity. If we will learn about the Mass and actively participate in it, we'll get much more out of it, and our lives will be changed.
