Welcome to the St. John of the Cross Parish Website!



Happy are we who are invited to your table Lord! Let us rejoice in the Lord Jesus, our Bread of Life.


St. John of the Cross Parish is a vital community of approximately 3,700 households. Our great size enables us to accomplish many great things together when centered in Christ. Our size also means that we need to be particularly sensitive to each other as individuals so that we can continue to grow as one family united in our Catholic faith. With infinite love, God has planted within each of us the deep desire to share His divine life. We do so in and through His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. To claim that we are the Body of Christ in the world is to understand that we have a common commitment to celebrate Eucharist, to pray, to share our faith and our many gifts with the world. Parishioners of all ages are challenged to grow deeper in the love and knowledge of our Lord and his message through our Parish School, Youth Catechesis Program, Crossroads Teen Ministry, adult formational and service opportunities.

Come join us that we might offer worthy praise to our loving and merciful God and be strengthened to live his mission of LOVE! If our website does not give you the information you are seeking, I invite you to contact me or anyone else on the Staff. We are all glad to share this wonderful parish with you and invite you to Sunday Eucharist.
