Pastoral Ministry&
BEFRIENDER MINISTRY
You are invited to consider joining our next Befriender training class beginning in September.
A Befriender is a caring Christian who can listen and offer their companionship to parishioners in need of support.  Educational and spiritually based training and supervision is provided.  This experience will help you enhance your skills while you make new friends and become an important part of this St. John's ministry.  If you are interested or have questions, please call Mary Ann or Judy in the Pastoral Ministry office, 651-633-8333.  We will be happy to talk with you!

"Is anyone of you in trouble?  He should pray.  Is anyone happy?  Let him sing songs of praise.  Is anyone of you sick?  He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord." (James 5:13-14)

St. John parishioners, family and friends are invited to attend a special&

Mass of Healing
with reception of the
Sacrament of the
Anointing of the Sick

WEDNESDAY, JULY 5
2:00 P.M.
CHURCH

Anyone living with short or long-term illness, facing surgery or experiencing the effects of aging, disability, addictions, mental or emotional health issues is encouraged to attend and receive this Sacrament.  Through the ancient rites of the laying on of hands and the anointing with oil those who receive the Sacrament are touched by the love and grace of God as well as the prayers and support of family, friends and our community.

Following our celebration join us in the narthex for hospitality. 
Please RSVP to (651) 633-8333 by Friday, June 30 and let us know how many will be attending.

If you will be anointed on July 5, we ask you to fill out and return this bottom portion to the parish center or bring it with you to the liturgy.  This helps us to be accurate in recording your reception of the Sacrament.  Questions?  Call Mary Ann in the Pastoral Ministry Office.
