Evangelization & Catechesis

Want to share your faith?  Get involved!

At St. John parish we are working under the guidance of Fr. Chas Canoy’s vision in implementing the call of the New Evangelization.  We have the tools and the people ready to lay the foundation for an encounter with Jesus Christ (evangelization) and then to begin the process of discipleship through prayer and learning (catechesis).  We have many opportunities for those who want to help evangelize and disciple others.  Nothing strengthens and defines your own faith quite like sharing, teaching, encouraging or evangelizing!

Religious Education

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) welcomes Children to a peaceful, prayerful environment where children encounter Jesus through Sacred Scripture, the liturgy, and hands-on materials created for their stage of development.  Want to learn more or volunteer to help?  Contact Amy (amy@saintjohnjackson.org)

Children’s Liturgy of the Word

Children’s Liturgy of the Word meets on Sunday during Mass, and opens the Word of God for little children in our parish center while moms and dads participate in the Sunday readings and homily.  If you love working with kids and want to volunteer your time in this important ministry, call the Parish Office.

Communion to the Home bound

Do you desire to bring Jesus to others?  What if you could do that in a literal way?  Consider volunteering to give Holy Communion to our shut-ins and sick who cannot attend Mass on a regularly basis.  Hours are flexible and you can choose to visit hospitals, nursing homes, or do home visits.

Contact the Parish Office for more information.
