SAINT JOHN XXIII OFFICE HOURS
Monday - Friday 7 AM - 3:30 PM
Our parish sincerely wants to serve you with all the resources that our faith supplies. Take a moment, even right now, to tell God what you are looking for here. It is amazing that a simple search to find out what time Mass is can hide a deeper desire to worship God, or to return to God, or to become a Christian disciple.
A website is impersonal, but our God is very personal, and God is always looking for us, for any hint that we might be in need, or desiring to do something great for Him. My guess is that God is the one who you are really seeking, and He said that all who seek will find.
LETTER FROM THE PASTOR
1st Week of Advent
11-28-2021Fr. Don Kline, V.F.Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Peace and Joy in Our Lord Jesus!
The word Advent comes from the Latin words advenire (to come to) adventus (an arrival), and refers to Christ's coming into this world. The Advent season is a time of joyful expectation and preparation for Christmas, the day upon which Christ's birth is celebrated and His first coming into this world. The focus of Advent is upon the centuries of waiting and preparation by God's chosen people, which preceded the coming of the Messiah. As such, it is a time marked by expectation, hope, preparedness and penance. The later being mindful of John the Baptist's cry to prepare for the coming of the Lord with repentance (Treasury of Latin Prayers by Michael Martin).

10-24-2021Fr. Don Kline, V.F.“My house shall be a house of prayer, says the Lord: in that house, everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” - Mt 21:13; Lk 11:10
Today, our hearts are gladdened as we celebrate the reopening of the St. Bernadette Catholic Church of the Diocese of Phoenix in Scottsdale, Arizona. The completed beautification process of this magnificent House of God would not have been possible without the generous support of our donors – laity and clergy – from our parish.
