Covid - What We Know

We’ll be sure to keep you updated as things develop. This situation is very unique and we won’t minimize that. We might not know right now how this situation will continue to unfold but here are three things we do know: 

1. This too shall pass.

2. God is still in control.

3. This situation presents an opportunity for us to shine as Jesus’s disciples. Yes, be safe, but also be mindful to love on and care for others. Check-in on each other, especially the elderly and vulnerable. Take any extra time you have to invest in prayer, crack open the Scriptures, and continue to draw closer to Christ. If you see or hear of a need: someone needs communion brought to them, people can't get to the grocery store or pharmacy, etc. please notify us by emailing serve@stjohnparish.org. 

A Prayer by Pope Francis

O Mary, you shine continuously on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope.

We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick.

At the foot of the Cross you participated in Jesus’ pain, with steadfast faith.

You, Salvation of the Roman People, know what we need.

We are certain that you will provide, so that, as you did at Cana of Galilee,

joy and feasting might return after this moment of trial.

Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform ourselves to the Father’s will and to do what Jesus tells us:

He who took our sufferings upon Himself, and bore our sorrows to bring us,

through the Cross, to the joy of the Resurrection. Amen.

​

We seek refuge under your protection, O Holy Mother of God.

Do not despise our pleas – we who are put to the test – and deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin.
