Blood Drive

Sacred Ground Dialogue

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ at St. John’s Church and St. Martin’s Church:

Grace and peace to you in Jesus Christ.

Fr. Rob and I decided that our two groups should get together to reflect upon our individual and corporate experiences participating in the Sacred Ground film-based dialogue series on Race and Faith. What has happened in your heart since we last met? What have you or your parish done in regard to racial justice and healing, since we last met? What might our two parishes do together in the future? We would very much like for you to participate in a conversation. There will be a meeting on Monday, July 10 at 7 pm. Please mark your calendars. A Zoom invitation is forthcoming.

Summer is Here

Don't forget to "attend" to the area you signed up to weed on the property.
