Saint John’s is excited to announce our upcoming Liturgical Workshops. If you have ever wanted to get more involved in the worshipping life of the parish, this is an event that is not to be missed! During the Wednesday evening sessions, we will provide training for those who are new to these ministries while at the same time honing the skills of those who already serve. Take the time to look through our offerings and make plans to attend!

If you have children ready to serve or who are already serving, this is the class to attend!

The St. Gregory Choir will be a rewarding experience and provide valuable life skills that will benefit each chorister in their daily life.
