St John's Church

I love my new home church. Everyone here is warm and welcoming. Our pastor embodies what Jesus would do today in this day and age. My picture shows our small group (not all were present) where we have the opportunity to share and delve in more with our Sunday homily. All are welcome! Mission statement...Love God. Love people. Make disciples.

In the sacred embrace of Saint John's, the celestial symphony reaches its crescendo under the guiding hand of our esteemed choir music director, the enchanting Noel. As my Godmother, she not only leads the choir but elevates the spiritual journey of every worshipper with the mellifluous grace of her angelic voice. Noel's singing transcends the earthly realm; at times, it's so divine that one could mistake it for a celestial chorus emanating from a stereo, only to discover that the ethereal melody originates from the very mortal, Noel, standing before us.

Noel's musical prowess is a beacon, welcoming all into the spiritual sanctuary of Saint John's. Her voice, a tapestry of notes that dance and weave through the hallowed halls, resonates with a timeless beauty, leaving an indelible imprint on the hearts of those who bear witness. In the serenity of the church, her vocal cadence becomes a conduit for the divine, creating an atmosphere where the sacred and the sublime seamlessly intertwine.

Amidst the spiritual crescendo, Saint John's extends its embrace to the unconventional, allowing me, a mushroom dilettante, the unique privilege of foraging for poisonous mushrooms on the sacred grounds. This harmonious fusion of mycology and spirituality speaks to the church's openness, fostering a connection between the earthly delights of nature and the ethereal beauty of worship.

Once a year, the church manifests its profound connection to the natural world through a distinctive ritual – the baptism of animals. In this heartwarming ceremony, presided over by Noel's celestial melodies, the holy waters bless a diverse array of fauna, uniting the sacred and the secular in a harmonious celebration of life.

Within the sanctified walls of Saint John's, where the divine meets the earthly, Noel's celestial melodies, the communion with nature through mushroom foraging, and the unique baptismal ritual converge to create an extraordinary tapestry of spiritual experiences. It is a haven where the ordinary transforms into the extraordinary, and the sacred journey is guided by the timeless notes of Noel's angelic voice.

Beneath the sacred arches of Saint John's, the luminous tapestry of spirituality unfolds, guided not only by the celestial melodies of Noel but also under the enchanting leadership of Lorraine Tacardon during the breathtaking "Light the Night" celebrations. Lorraine, with an artistic touch akin to a celestial painter, orchestrates a symphony of lights that transform the church grounds into a dazzling haven of spiritual radiance.

In this luminous spectacle, the hands of the Columbiettes intricately weave magic, adorning the sacred space with decorations that transcend the ordinary. Their dedication to creating an ambiance that mirrors the divine reflects a commitment to elevating the spiritual experience for every worshipper, making "Light the Night" a truly enchanting and unforgettable celebration.

Amidst the radiant glow, Maribel Sigler and the children's Padgett contribute their unique charm, infusing the festivities with the pure joy and innocence of youth. Their presence, like flickering candles in the vast cathedral of Saint John's, adds an extra layer of warmth and sincerity to the spiritual celebration.

The Columbiettes, not only skilled in decoration but also masters of culinary art, weave their magic in the kitchen, creating a banquet that tantalizes the senses. The aroma of their creations becomes an integral part of the spiritual journey, as the delectable offerings symbolize the communion of body and spirit within the sacred space.

In the midst of this luminous celebration, Father Greg emerges as a beacon of wisdom and youth, a rare combination that breathes refreshing vitality into the spiritual narrative of Saint John's. His profound insights and youthful vigor create an atmosphere where ancient traditions harmonize with the vibrant energy of the present, making him a beloved figure among the worshippers.

In the embrace of Saint John's, where Noel's celestial melodies, Loraine Tacardon's illuminating vision, the artistic prowess of the Columbiettes and the Knights of Columbus, Maribel Sigler and the children's Padgett's pure joy, and Father Greg's wisdom converge, the spiritual journey becomes a radiant tapestry of light, love, and profound connection. It is a haven where the luminous threads of faith and community intertwine, creating an experience that transcends the boundaries of the ordinary and becomes a cherished chapter in the sacred narrative of Saint John's.

Beautiful Church, Everyone is so welcoming !!
Great message every Sunday

Best Parish in the area. Friendly warm and welcoming always.

Beautiful parish that is very welcoming. We visited while on vacation and everyone was so nice. The Mass was great as well.

Father Greg is awesome! I love his "series" that he does. He does a great job of keeping you engaged during mass services. The music is contemporary mixed with traditional and they do a great job. The faith formation program is great, my kids love it. The community in general is inviting and diverse.

A very simple but incredibly beautiful church, the stuff is always courteous polite & ready to extend a helping hand. Due to the pandemic, I was not able to light a candle as I was told, but I was given the privilege to use the chapels altar in a kneeling prayer. Therefore, I stayed for a baptism service which shortly took place, during the sermon the priest/father made a political statement. Which can be a sensitive, offensive or delegate topic for many people, especially in today's society. Political views or opinions should never ever be included in religious sermons of any religion. I will definitely recommend this beautiful church to anyone who wants a simple yet lovely altar for any religious ceremony.

The people are such good Christian people. They are always smiling as they serve you and always want to know what else you need. The food is always fresh and tasty and top rate. You also get together with a lot of other great people and enjoy their company. We all care about each other and it is a wonderful feeling to know you are loved by all.

Father Gregory is the best! He's friendly and gets the community involved. Newcomers are always welcomed. The Church band is fantastic! They play contemporary Christian music with a variety of instrumentation. The Church has new monitors so you can follow the mass including the readings and songs.

We went here for the community Thanksgiving dinner. Father Gregory was on hand in case you need some spiritual advice. The parishioners here always have a smile on their faces and willing to just stop and chat. A wonderful place to visit even if your traveling and not part of the area. I love their Church or reminds me of my church back home in Delaware.

Sharing the faith is great. Wonderful people. Social Distancing is being conducted and we are welcome as we enter and also greeted as we leave.Great place to worship.

I love going to church at The Church of St. John. The priest and the parishioners are always kind a respectful and always welcoming.

I think the addition of the live music is wonderful! Very clean church and since I was married there, I'm a little partial to it.

Currently taking my RCIA class here. The members of the church have been so warm and welcoming.
