Pray

Our community strives to be rooted in prayer and the Sacraments. At St. John XXIII, the sacraments are readily available in the form of daily and Sunday mass, daily confession times, and Perpetual Adoration. Below you will find various opportunities to engage the Lord in prayer.

Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential.” — St. John XXIII

THE SOLEMNITY OF THE ASCENSION WILL BE CELEBRATED ON SUNDAY MAY 29 (WITH THE VIGIL ON SATURDAY MAY 28).

Deacon David Peverley, Deacon

Deacon David has been married to Doreen for over 30 years and has four children and four grandchildren (and counting!). He owns his own business in the Project Management field where he struggles like everybody else to make a good living. After 40 years of agnosticism, the reality of God finally penetrated his skepticism such that he responded to the call to be a Deacon in 2010. His ministerial ambition has been to translate theology into everyday language for people, successful marriage in the kingdom of God and helping those who have suffered a major trauma in their life.
