Saint John the Evangelist
Saint John the Evangelist is the patron of
editors, authors, art dealers, tanners, and
theologians. He was known as the beloved
disciple to Jesus and was the only one of the
twelve to not forsake Jesus in the hour of His
Passion. Saint John the Evangelist has many
stories attributed to himself including emerging
unharmed from a pot of boiling oil and stones
thrown by the followers of Artemis towards St.
John the Evangelist turned around and hit the
throwers instead. He is also credited with
writing the fourth Gospel.
St. John the Evangelist's feast day is
December 27th .
Saint Michael, the Archangel, Please guide and protect our Police Officers, Firefighters, Emergency Personnel and First Responders
Prayer for our Troops Almighty God and Father, hold our servicemen and women in
your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for
us in our time and need. We ask this in the name of Jesus, Our Lord and Savior.
Amen.
Fourth Sunday in Advent Mindful of our task to prepare our world for his
full and final coming, let us pray: Father, we are
struck with wonder at the trust you have put in
us. The work which your Son began by his
coming here on earth is now put into our hands
to complete. He longs to come again, but his
time is not yet ripe; we must bring him forth to a
world that is pleasing to him. Until that time,
known only to you, when the heavens will open
and we will see him once more, we raise our eyes
to you and ask for your blessing while we set our
hands to the task you have given us. All glory
be to you, Father, and to your Son, and to the
Holy Spirit, now and forever. Amen.

IIt’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Dear Family of St. John the Evangelist
We are blessed to celebrate another Christmas Season. The birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, recalls the love of Almighty God for all creation especially, all of us created in God’s
image and likeness. It is a time of rebuilding and strengthening our Faith, Hope, and Love of
Jesus and our love of one another. It is a time of bridge building and reconciliation. Jesus, the
Prince of Peace, calls us to heal the wounds and sin of division that hurt the Body of Christ, The Family of God. Christ calls us to be a People of
Love, Joy, Hope, Peace, and Love. Let us witness to our Faith by our deeds of kindness
and love. May God Bless you and your loved ones, and May the Lord grant You Health, Happiness,
Peace, Joy, and Love.
