We continue our journey through John Chapter 6 as the Church encourages us to reflect on our relationship with Jesus present in the Holy Eucharist. Our Lord makes the bold proclamation today,

Pope Francis has established throughout the Church the beginning in 2021 on the fourth Sunday of July, near the liturgical memorial of Saints Joachim and Anne, the grandparents of Jesus. 

YOUR VOICE IS NEEDED!  Please contact your legislators to oppose taxpayer funding of abortion in DC, foreign aid, and in federal health plans!  

Richard “Rich” Roa has been selected to serve as the new Business Manager for SJN.  

My name is Mathew Scruggs and I am so excited to join the St. John Neumann family as your new Director of Faith Formation.

The Bishops of the Washington, Baltimore and surrounding dioceses are lifting the dispensation of the Sunday and Holy Days Mass obligation on Saturday, June 26, 2021 and Sunday, June 27, 2021.

This weekend we celebrate that important Solemnity of The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ other-wise known as Corpus Christi. After each Mass this weekend we will have a short time of adoration before our Lord.

The Archdiocese recently updated the liturgical guidelines for Mass.

Congratulations High School Graduates! Applications for the Scholarship are now being accepted.  

Today is Divine Mercy Sunday which was instituted by Saint John Paul II. For your reflection, here is part of a homily that Saint John Paul II gave in 2001.  May the Mercy of God reign in the world!

We now enter into Holy Week, a sacred time where we focus on the passion, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.  I would encourage to make these days truly sacred and carve out some time on Thursday – Sunday for prayer and reflection.  

The Equality Act was passed recently by the House of Representatives and now moves to the Senate. What should we know as Catholics? Catholics should be very concerned with this piece of legislation for numerous reasons.

Soon, the calendar will turn to February, which means Lent is just around the corner. This also means it is the time of year when I will ask you to make a gift to the Annual Appeal in support of the many charitable works of our Archdiocese. 

January 22nd was the Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of the Unborn, and marked the sad 48th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. It is more important than ever that every Catholic has a pro-life heart filled with prayer. On Friday, January 29th the parish will come together for a simple morning to pray for an end to abortion. All are invited and please consider attending!

A Reflection on the Feast of Christ the King by Fr. Yap.

Today we celebrate the Feast of Christ the King, the last Sunday in Ordinary time. Next week we will begin the Holy Season of Advent.  It would be good to take some time this week to make some spiritual plans and goals regarding this Holy Season the Church gives us. 

Starting November 7, the Blessed Sacrament will be reposed on Sunday from 7:00am - 6:30pm, to allow parishioners to use the front entrance for Mass.  Communion will continue to be distributed outdoors. Those outside will receive communion at approximately the same time as those inside the church.
