On February 22, we held our annual Tea with Sisters event where girls in 8th - 12th grade attend a tea with religious sisters to learn more about their vocation to consecrated life.
The Knights of Columbus wish to thank all the Safeway shoppers who supported our food drive at Safeway on November 23rd and 24th. Over 3,500 lbs. of food were collected for our SJN Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry. Valued at more than $5,000, this is enough to feed at least 150 families for two distributions! Thanks too to the volunteer Knights and parishioners who helped this tremendous success.
This year's Box of Joy Collection was yet another big success! 210 boxes were collected. These will bring a Merry Christmas to poor children in Latin America and the Caribbean. SJN's Knights of Columbus thank the unending generosity of Saint John Neumann parish including the religious education students with wishes for a blessed and Merry Christmas. Don't forget on December 25th -- take a minute pray for the kids and envision the joy that your boxes bring ... "And whoever receives one child such as this in my name receives me." Mt 18:5
Our construction for the new addition to the church building has been completed! Here was our dedication mass and blessings of our newly built rooms. A reception to follow!
