Activities
New ministry
We have a new ministry beginning in our parish called 7 Sisters Apostolate. The website is here: at our parish called 7 Sisters Apostolate if you want to read more about it. This ministry is formed to strengthen the Church by specifically praying for our priests. The goal is to have a holy hour assigned every single day for the intention of praying for Fr. Tuan and Fr. Hendry. This ministry will span all of our campuses. You can contact Pacita Ongoco, whose contact information is in the bulletin, or your parish office to learn more or to sign up.
Pacita's email: renpac_1@hotmail.com if people call you to sign up

BUILDING MAINTENANCE
The exterior trim of the Religious Education Center was recently pressure washed and repainted. Our Facilities Operator, Mike, is now repainting areas of the exterior of the parish hall.
GROUNDS MAINTENANCE UPDATES
Our new Facilities Maintenance Operator, Mike Do (pronounced “Doe”), has been busy at St. John of the Woods. He landscaped our north and south parking lots and cut down blackberry bushes at the back end of the church property. Thank you, Mike, for all you do!
We need parishioners to join our facility team. Volunteering as part of the facility team is a beautiful way to serve God and your parish community. By helping care for the church, you contribute to maintaining a sacred space where we gather to worship, pray, and seek comfort. Your efforts, no matter how small, help create a welcoming and peaceful environment for others to encounter God. It's a humble and rewarding form of stewardship that allows you to give back to the church that nourishes your faith, while also strengthening bonds with fellow parishioners as you work together for a common purpose.
Contact: Father Tuan, Fr. Hendry after Mass

A special word of thanks to our maintenance in charge, Mr. Mike Do, who has done a marvels job of completely renovating the church hall floor, the remodeling of the filters of our church and hall and taking excellent care of all our facilities. His commitment and expertise have brought new life and strength in all facilities across our parish. Please thank and appreciate him if you meet him in any of our campus.
