Small Change, Big Opportunity

Dear Parish Family,

I am excited to share a new opportunity that will enrich our Sunday worship experience and help meet the growing needs of our parish community.

Beginning Sunday, July 6, our 11:00 am Mass will begin with 15 minutes of Praise and Worship. This time of song and prayer will allow us to prepare our hearts for the Eucharist! Mass will start promptly at 11:15 am.

This adjustment, made in consultation with the parish leadership team, the staff and the parish council, serves both a spiritual and practical purpose. It will better accommodate our CCD (religious education) families by providing more class time, easing their transition into Mass, and helping to reduce parking congestion during our busiest hours.

I warmly invite you to continue arriving at your usual time so that we may worship together and enter more deeply into the sacred mystery of the Mass.

May this small change open new doors for grace, community, and encounter with the Lord.

With every blessing and the gift of prayer,

Fr. Jose N. Alfaro

Beginning Saturday, June 21, St. John Neumann Parish will have the honor of hosting the Archdiocesan Vocational Chalice. The chalice will be placed in a prominent location during all Masses in the weeks leading up to the upcoming Vocations Gathering.

We invite our entire community to pray one Hail Mary each day during Mass for priestly vocations. The chalice serves as a visible reminder to lift up those discerning the call to the priesthood-some of whom will soon be visiting our parish.

Let us unite in prayer for vocations and support the future shepherds of our Church!

Recibimos El Cáliz Vocacional Arquidiocesano

A partir del sábado 21 de Junio, nuestra parroquia San Juan Neumann tendrá el honor de recibir el Cáliz Vocacional Arquidiocesano. Este cáliz será colocado en un lugar de honor durante todas las Misas en las semanas previas al próximo encuentro vocacional.

Invitamos a toda la comunidad a unirse en oración por las vocaciones sacerdotales rezando un Ave María diaria en cada Misa. Este cáliz visible servirá como recordatorio de la importancia de orar por quienes están discerniendo el llamado al sacerdocio-algunos de los cuales visitarán nuestra parroquia muy pronto.

¡Acompáñanos en esta hermosa iniciativa de oración por las vocaciones!

El Grupo de Oración ÁGAPE invita a su próximo Seminario de Vida en el Espíritu, los días 27 y 28 de Junio de 2025.
