Eparchial and parish news and events

Our religious program for children starts on Sept 11, after Sunday service. The program is open for children ages 1/12, and there are two classes: ages 1/5 and 7/12. It runs once a month (January 8, February 12, March 5, April 2, May 7, June 4) for about an hour. Please contact the parish office to sign up your children or write an email. Thank you!

To have a house/home blessing is a ancient tradition and a wonderful thing. It is a prayer for the Lord’s presence and blessing for us and our beloved ones. It will be offered at St Johns around Epiphany time. Father Gregory will be available for house blessing starting January 9th on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 2pm through 7pm. Please call the parish office, send

us an email or simply talk to the Father so we can make arrangements and come to your house.

Theosis in Action, a young adult outreach of the Eparchy of Passaic is organizing the Poustinia Retreat for the young adults (ages 18–35). It will be let by the Franciscan Friars of Renewal and will take place at St Mary Byzantine Catholic Ch in Hillsborough NJ on January 28.
