| Stewardship. All things are from God and all things should be shared with those in need. As the people of God, we are called to "Go in peace, to love and to serve the Lord." Stewardship is our way as Catholic Christians of doing that every day in every possible way that we can.
There may be new signs of life speaking to us. We have only to see them to experience the glory of the risen Lord penetrating the shadows of our lives. Would you ever consider being in ministry here at St. John's as a Lector, Minister, Usher, Greeter or any other ministry. Just as Jesus taught His disciples, we as disciples of God, can offer what we have. We encourage you to participate in any of the above areas that you may feel you can share with us. If you would like to join any of our ministries kindly call Sister Maureen 617-323-4410. Thank you.

Our Parish Mission Statement
We are God's people — women, men and children — created in His image and raised to a new dignity through Baptism to be a priestly people and stewards of His creation.
Conscious of this dignity, we choose to gather together at St. John's to worship our Father, through Jesus in the Spirit—especially in the liturgy—and to create a family bond among us.
Therefore, we freely commit our time, talent and treasure to enhance the spiritual and human growth of the members of this family and the wider community.
Welcome to new parishioners!
If you are new in the parish, please visit our office in the parish center and fill out a form to register with us. Those moving from the parish are asked to contact the Parish Center that we may update our records.
