EVENTS AT ST. JOHN NEWMAN PARISH What's Happening EVENTS Calendar Gallery At St. John Newman Parish, we have several organizations that foster both individual needs and the needs of the parish. St. John Newman is a fun, cohesive parish because of several reasons: church, school and all of the opportunities to connect with one another. Parishioners can share their time and talents, and enrich their lives and the lives of others, by becoming more involved in any of our parish organizations and activities.

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION Eucharistic Adoration Sacraments Mass Schedule WORSHIP Reconciliation Wednesdays St. Joan of Arc | 5:30 - 7pm The mission of the Eucharistic Adoration ministry is to provide a quiet time and place for prayer in the presence of the Lord’s host, the Eucharist. To re-invigorate adoration in the worldwide church as urged by Pope John Paul II, St. John Newman Parish provides a solemn space for prayer and adoration each week. Persons of all ages are welcome to join in this time of reverence and to experience a close encounter with the Eucharist, which is on the altar during this time. Sometimes described as an opportunity for a deeper encounter with inner beliefs, Adoration can be a time to settle and focus on faith and experience a unique relationship to prayer. To participate in this ministry, join us at our St. Joan of Arc campus to pray during Adoration each Wednesday from 5:30 - 7pm .
