The SJN Choir is taking a break for the Summer and will return after Labor Day. Consider joining the choir, and be on the lookout in August for signups for our new Children's Choir.

As we all transition to a life far closer to our pre-pandemic patterns, St. John Neumann will bring back our pre-COVID Sunday morning Mass schedule. Starting July 3rd, we will move the 11:00AM Mass back to its previous starting time of 11:30AM. The weekend Mass schedule will be 5:00PM Saturday Vigil Mass and 7:30AM, 9:00AM, 11:30AM, and 5:00PM Sunday Masses.   This change returns us to familiar Mass times and allows us to offer Faith Formation classes this Fall on Sunday mornings between the 9:00AM and 11:30AM Mass.

Pastoral Message from Bishop Vásquez to the people of God of the Diocese of Austin regarding Uvalde School Shooting: I ask the people of the Diocese of Austin to join me in prayer as we mourn the loss of life in today’s school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. I am deeply saddened by this tragic event that took the lives of so many innocent children and their teacher. My prayers go out to all the victims, their families, friends, and the entire Uvalde community. Through the intercession of Our Lady of Sorrows, may God’s infinite love and mercy grant strength to those who mourn, healing and consolation to the wounded, and peace to all who grieve.

Open to students in grades 3-8, this choir will learn singing techniques from professional musicians!

In communion with our Holy Father, Bishop Vásquez is calling on his priests and the faithful in the Diocese of Austin to join him on March 25, 2022, at 11 a.m. in consecrating these two countries. The event will be live-streamed on the diocesan Facebook page and on the diocesan website WATCH page - https://austindiocese.org/watch Fr. Dean will also lead the consecration prayer at the beginning of the Stations of the Cross tomorrow, March 25, at 7 PM.

Fr. Kris joined us at St. John Neumann as the new associate pastor on January 3rd.  Fr.

His father hails from Amomaigi quarters while his mother is from Ekpecho in Ebu Town, Oshimili North Local Government of Delta State. He is the first of eight children. His desire for the priesthood began as an Altar Server under Msgr. Michael Omisesan at Holy Family Catholic Church Festac Town, Lagos. The attraction to the missionary priesthood began also as an Altar server under Fr. John Burke of the Society of African Mission (SMA). Fr Burke alongside Fr.

At the completion of his seminary training, Kris was sent to Abuja Archdiocese and Minna Diocese for pastoral experience before his ordination.  He was ordained on July 3, 1999.
