Becoming a
Catholic Christian

Posted on by n$n

Are you or someone you know interested in becoming a Catholic Christian? Are you or someone you know (over 7 years old) who has been baptized Catholic but not confirmed and/or receiving Holy Communion?

We offer an opportunity to come together in a small group to grow in our relationship with the Divine Person, Jesus. Sessions focus on Jesus’ new life that unites one and all with God our Father in the power of Holy Spirit. We reflect on Jesus’ teachings as carried on in the daily life of the Church and so are formed to celebrate the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist through the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults at Easter. There are separate sessions for children, youth and adults. You are welcome to participate with your questions, your insights and your faith story in a warm accepting setting.

If you have any questions or desire more information, please contact the Faith Formation Office via email or phone.

Eucharistic Revival
Holy Hour

Posted on by c$s%r

The Parish-focused second year of the Eucharistic Revival officially began on 11 June 2023. During this year of the Eucharistic Revival, one of our goals at Saint John Bosco Parish is to promote and encourage increasing Eucharistic Devotion.

You are invited to join us for a Holy Hour at 10:00am in our Adoration Chapel on 7 February 2024, 3 April 2024 and 5 June 2024.

Treat yourself to some quiet time in prayer and adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. The Holy Hour provides each person an opportunity to bring before Jesus, in the Blessed Sacrament, the cares, concerns, joys, sorrows and thanksgivings that we all experience each day. Come join us as we pray together, as the Apostles did, in the presence of Jesus.

Come as a family or as an individual as all are most welcome.

Wedding Anniversaries

Posted on by tnj$nks

Your life as a couple through the years has been a witness to the sacramentality of Marriage and celebrating your anniversary will strengthen the graced-bond between each of you, your children and the parish community. As a parish, we will pray for couples celebrating a sacramental wedding anniversary. All couples who wish to participate can submit their names, anniversary date and contact information. Please email the information and your names will be listed by month in the Sunday Bulletin and on the Saint John Bosco Electronic Message Board.

O God, Creator of all things,
Who in the beginning made man and woman
that they might form the marriage bond,
bless and strengthen the union of
our parishioners that they may show forth
an ever more perfect image of
the union of Christ with his Church.
Through our lord Jesus Christ, Your Son,
Who lives and reigns with You
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever. Amen.
