2022 Lenten Season

We are now in the season of Lent as we journey through this period of preparation and formation toward the celebration of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday!

We encourage you to use this time to continue developing your heart into a place worthy for our Savior to dwell. That is an ongoing task, to say the least, and St. John tries to offer many programs, events, services, and resources to assist you on that journey.

      Seven Deadly Sins, Seven Lively Virtue

      thursdays 6:30-8:00, St. John School Bosco Room

      7 Deadly Sins will be on Thursdays, starting March 3. 6:30-8pm Bosco Room. There is a fee of $17 for the workbook. Limit of 20 people

      Join Bishop Robert Barron for this engaging presentation concerning the seven deadly sins, those great spiritual blocks that inhibit our flourishing in relationship with God and one another.
      Based on Dante’s writings, the seven deadly sins correspond to the seven levels of Dante’s Mt. Purgatory.  Pride, envy, anger, sloth, gluttony, avarice, and lust are all presented as patterns of dysfunction within us that lead to unhappiness.
      However, Bishop Barron shows us how to counteract these seven sinful patterns through a conscious process of opposition, which are the “seven lively virtues."
      The seven lively virtues offer antidotes to each sin and help set us on the right
      path to healing and happiness.
