It is that time once again when we gather around our tables for Thanksgiving. The Parish Family of Saint John Bosco cordially invites you to a Thanksgiving Prayer Service on Tuesday, 21 November 2023 at 6:30pm in the parish Church.
As you leave Church following the Prayer Service, we invite the children to stop by the Main Lobby and pick up a fun Thanksgiving Gift! We hope you can join us as we gather to give thanks to God for our many blessings.

The Parish-focused second year of the Eucharistic Revival officially began on June 11th. During this year of the Eucharistic Revival, one of our goals at Saint John Bosco is to promote and encourage increasing Eucharistic Devotion. You are invited to join us for a Holy Hour at 10am in the Adoration Chapel on 6 December 2023. 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! All are most welcome.
Are you someone or know someone who has expressed an interest in becoming a Catholic Christian? Do you know of a child over the age 7 who has not been baptized, or baptized Catholic but not confirmed and/or receiving Holy Community ? We offer an opportunity to come together in a small group to learn more about our faith. Sessions focus on the teachings and experience of Church and prepare individuals to celebrate the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist during the Easter season. 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. For information please contact the Faith Formation Office, (267) 803-0774.
A statue of Pope Saint John Paul II will be traveling to the homes of our Parishioners for a week-long visit during the National Eucharistic Revival. You are invited to bring the Statue to your home. This is a unique opportunity for you to have special prayer time. Each day you are asked to say the simple devotion which will be pro- vided. Traveling devotions help keep prayer & spirituality close to home for many. Usually the statue is transferred over the weekend at church. Should you have any questions or would like more information, please contact the rotation coordinator at (215) 669-8159
