Greetings in Christ. A few updates for you for Sunday - The Lord's Day.
1. PRAY SUNDAY MASS! March 22nd. Sunday Mass Available On-Line! Let's pray together SJN!
I will be taping a Mass for the 4th Sunday of Lent in the morning.

www.saintjohnneumann.org There will be Mass on the YouTube channel every day.
Gather the family and give praise to God...You with me SJN! Let's hear it.
2. FEED THE POOR (I am pretty sure Jesus would want us to) Saint Martin's Pantry Food Drive, Sunday, 11-1 pm at SJN
We need to feed the poor, especially in a crisis.
Please help if you can (but don't go out if you shouldn't).
Items most needed are canned vegetables and peanut butter.
Bring them to the Church on Sunday, March 22 between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm. The food items should simply be dropped off in the containers which will be provided outside the Church (to the right of the St. John Neumann statue). After dropping off the food please leave without making close contact with parishioners... Social Distancing!
3. Two New Resources on Our Website: - Indulgences and Creating Family Prayer Space
A. Plenary Indulgence:The gift of special Indulgences is granted to the faithful suffering from COVID-19 disease, commonly known as Coronavirus, as well as to health care workers, family members and all those who in any capacity, including through prayer, care for them.
B. Learn How to Create a Family Prayer Space! Since we can't be physically at Saint John Neumann Church, it would be good to make a prayer space in your home. The early Church consisted in "house churches" where the faithful worshipped. Ideas are available from ADW on our website. Check it out and make your home holy!
Go to the "Coronavirus Resources Section" on the Website to learn more.
4. Adoration at SJN
Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is present behind the glass doors of the entrance to the Church.
O Come Let us Adore Him! Please keep proper distance...this is very important to do and very serious.
You can also make a visit while staying in your car, or just drive by and say hello.
But if you are compromised in any way, it is better to stay home and worship Jesus from your heart.
God bless you...Please pray for your priests and know we are praying for you.
