St. Johns the Evangelist

A.  Our Catechism classes for this school year will start on October 11th. Registrations will be every Sunday of September after Mass. These are classes for Pre-K, Reconciliation, 1^st Communion, Nourishing the Faith, Confirmation, & Youth Group. For more details, you can visit our website, call the parish office, or talk to Alejandrina or Brisa.

B. Here are our Church activities every 7:00pm of Tuesday to Thursday starting October:

1. Tuesday: Youth Group- We have new activities for our new youth group that are worthwhile and with lots to learn, so please invite any youth you know, Catholic or not, to join.

2. Wednesday; (6:30pm, right after Mass): Bible Study on the Gospel of St. Luke- Sept. 2, 9, 23, Oct. 7, 14, 21, 28.

3.  Thursday: RCIA program- Please invite anyone interested in learning the Catholic faith. There is no obligation to enter into the Catholic Church after the program, although that is our hope. Let’s do our part in recruiting those who may have interest in joining the Holy Mother Church.

* Everyone will need to wear masks (except kids 4 years old and below); and practice social distancing during classes & activities. The teachers do not have to wear mask if they can be more than 6 feet away from the students. We also have sanitizers and gloves available.

* Registrations for all classes and programs will be every Sunday after the 8:30am Mass. You can also call the parish during office hours. For more details, please speak with Alendrina, our Frontdesk Officer & DRE (Director of Religious Education) or Brisa (Parish Secretary).

GOOD NEWS! Our church is now allowed to have 100 in the main area and satellite rooms (social hall, cry room). Please sit only on the marked seats/arranged. We still need to practice proper distance. Everyone is required to wear mask. Also, please wash your hands with soap & water when you come. Gloves are available if you want them.

Dispensation from Sunday Mass obligation is still enforced. If you have any health issue or 6o years and up, you may opt to attend any online Mass. Please help me spread the word to our parishioners who do not have internet. 

*  There will be a basket at the entrance of the church, labelled "DONATION", so people can put their donation there each Mass. .

** Now online donations can be made. Go to the About tab and then go to the Finances Committee tab. In the Member ID put your box number and in comments put if it goes to something specific (building, cleaning,etc).

        2 Options: credit card or checking/bank account. What's good here is that you can choose automatic deductions every week or every month, and you can also stop it if you need to pause for some time. It's like paying a recurring bill. This is 100% secure and processed by e-Catholic. This will also show in the year-end Donation Summary letter that we give you for tax credit.

        You can still donate this way: 
a) Forward your contribution to the office: Tue to Fri; 10am - 2pm or Tue & Thu; 1:30pm - 4:30pm.
b) Mail your check to: St. John the Evangelist Parish, PO Box 580, Yamhill OR 97148

Thank you for your kind generosity! The truth is, no one else will take care of our church but us.
 

Our food pantry, Care & Share, is still open. If you know anyone who need food & basic for free, please call the office. Let's continue to help each other at this time of need. God bless you always!
