St. John the Apostle Catholic Church celebrates the diversity of our families and unites our parish as a worshiping community by reaching out to all people with the word of God. Our mission is to enrich the mind, body and spirit by fostering Christian ideals and beliefs for all; especially for the youth, elderly, sick, and poor.

Practice Makes Catholic - Did you know? |
| Many of you are looking for something to motivate or revive your faith life and others who would just like more… This is for you!! Men and women both are encouraged to attend. Bring a Catholic friend. It’s open to everyone! For those of you who don’t typically attend any adult sessions, this would be a great first one. Give it a try. There will be music, videos, table discussions, snacks, and more! There will be a make up every week for anyone who has to miss and wants to catch up. We will do our best to meet at your convenience. So, go ahead and sign up, even if you will miss the first one. The first session will last 2 hours, 6:30-8:30. The rest are typically 1 ½ hours. The first night will be in the gym. The rest will be in the cafeteria. You may register opening night, September 19, in the gym at 6:15. |
Contemplative prayer In the chaos of daily life our souls need
to be recharged. In a silent church or empty room, sitting in the woods, or near a sylvan lake or slow moving stream we refresh ourselves. We let ourselves be renewed. We allow ourselves to remember.... " Be still, and know that I am God" |
| Gather the
Children: Our Sunday Liturgy of the Word program for children Kindergarten through 4th grade. Is in need of a couple of adult volunteers. Teachers are scheduled in pairs once a month, August through July. Please contact Monica if you would like more information. We need your help! |

OUTREACH PROGRAM! We have begun an outreach program between our church and the women housed in the Meade County Detention Center. The Center currently houses over 50 women from 19-40+. Debbie Thompson is coordinating this ministry. She would be very happy to have others go with her to minister to the women. If you would like to share your time and talent with this ministry, please contact her at 422-3507 or 863-1010, or just talk to her after Sunday Mass. The initial goal is to get 50 people to donate $25.00. This will go toward buying mych needed clothing for these women as well as commissary and personal items. |
