Giving to St. John’s
The parish of St. John’s is home to almost 450 families plus around
1200 students who identify as Catholic. There are also the usual
guests, visitors and weekenders who call St. John’s their spiritual
home away from home.
It does take money to run the parish. We have expenses like any
business or home. We have to pay utilities and for upkeep. We
pay for the materials we use and often give away. We pay for
the staff and for the services we need to keep our parish clean,
safe and strong.
Your giving to the OPERATING BUDGET is important.
Giving to other funds such as special collections or Clayton Stevens
is generous but they do not help our parish or the Church.
If you love St. John’s and want to see us advance into the future
“full of hope”, then please prayerfully consider a regular gift to
the parish.
Online Giving is also an option.
Welcome to all our visitors and guests and we hope you enjoy your stay here in Oxford.
Newcomers to our parish please call the parish office at your earliest convenience to be registered.
Matrimony: Couples should call 6 months in advance for required preparation.
Baptism: Parents may call Fr. Joe for preparation.
Parents of all children enrolled in parish programs must be registered in the parish.
Bulletin submissions must be sent to the office by noon on Wednesday in writing via email or in person.
Current laws do not permit the Church to get information on hospitalized patients. If you know of someone in the
hospital or recovering at home, please let the Church know so we can schedule a visit.
Pray for our sick and home-bound:
Fran DeVoe, Ron Knapp, Gladys Baglioni, Steve
Sura, Marie Adams, Candy Gambrell, Joan Lucey,
Sam Provenza, Pat Shields, Robin Lovelady, Noel
Torma, Tiffany Torma, John Robert Phillips
