Given the Archbishops go ahead to reopen here is what I would like to communicate to you:
• Remember you are still dispensed if you do not feel comfortable attending.
• Please offer the spiritual communion prayer, find a Mass on-line, and/or pray the scripture readings, and reflect on the homily found in the bulletin if you choose not to attend.  Resources can be found by visiting https://stjohnstpat.org/online-mass

Not quite ready to return to Mass yet and need to get your envelope turned in?  
Here are 3 options:

1. Mail it to the John Paul Cluster II office at 209 5^th St NE, Independence, IA 50644
2. Drop it off to the Cluster office at the address listed above
3. Sign up for ACH…
   1. St. John Parishioners can call the Cluster office at 319-334-7191

Thank you for your continued support during this pandemic.  We truly do have the best church family!

Anyone; man or woman or family, who is interested in helping serve funeral dinners, at St. John's Church, please let us know.  We are working toward reopening the church hall for funeral dinners, starting again this fall, and are looking for help.  For more information, please contact Diane Williams ( Rosary Society President) at .319-934-3710.  While this is a commitment, it's also a time of fellowship and a way to serve the family in their time of sorrow.
