If you are currently not receiving contribution envelopes and would like to, please contact us. If you would like a statement for income tax purposes, please use the church envelopes, or an account number if you pay online. The use of contribution envelopes ensures that you are identified by your account/envelope number, so there is no confusion with names or posting to the wrong account. Envelopes provide confidentiality, as you do not have to put your name on them. There is no charge for church envelopes. You may pick up a boxed set of envelopes at any time during the year.
We appreciate everyone who volunteers to help with our 2022-23 CCD program. Enrollment forms can be found on our webite or picked up at the church office.

Pope Benedict XVI has said "In a world where there is so much noise, so much bewilderment, there is a need for silent adoration of Jesus concealed in the Host."
Adoration at St. John's is scheduled to begin September 14. The sign-up sheet is in the back of the Church. Please consider committing to giving an hour each week to Our Lord in Adoration. We are hoping to get at least two people for each of the time slots. If you prefer to be an alternate, please sign and give your phone number and hours available. If you have questions or concerns, please call Mary Beth Tarver or the church office.
The Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (formerly RCIA) is available for anyone interested. Everyone is welcome, whether you are interested in joining the Catholic faith, or just seek more information about the Catholic Church, or possibly need to complete your reception of the sacraments. Classes will resume on Sunday, September 11 at 9:30AM.
The Catholic Connection is the official publication of the Diocese of Shreveport, and is a great way to stay informed of local Catholic news and events. The digital magazine is available for your convenience at http://www.thecatholicconnection.org/
