Why Pray?

Prayer is the cornerstone of our relationship with Christ. It is crucial to growing and strengthening our interior lives which allows us to live out the Gospel each day. We must spend time in prayer to become closer to Christ, to listen to what he is calling us to do, and to discern every step of our journey to union with Him. Once we have spent time in prayer we are ready to go out and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to everyone we encounter.

Mass and Reconciliation

The Mass is the most perfect form of prayer. When we participate in the earthly liturgy we share in a foretaste of the heavenly liturgy. We invite you to discover this immense beauty of the Mass as it is celebrated at Saint John XXIII Catholic Church.

Reconciliation, or confession, is one of the sacraments of healing and God’s mercy. Reconciliation is open to any baptized Catholic who is seeking forgiveness and healing. We have daily confession times, and encourage everyone to make use of this amazing Sacrament.
