Saint John the Guardian of Our Lady Parish

This summer, we will be bringing a group of nine (9) teenagers to the The Life Teen Steubenville East Youth Conference/Retreat offered by Franciscan University of Steubenville! The cost of the trip is $275 per student. As you can imagine, this cost is out of reach for many families. We will be accepting donations in any amount to help defray the cost of the retreat during the next few weeks. If you would like to donate, please bring your donation to Mass on June 30/July 1 or mail it to the rectory at 149 Chestnut Street, Clinton, MA. If you would like to make out a check, please be sure to reference the Steubenville Retreat on the subject line. Checks may be made payable to: St. John the Guardian of Our Lady.

The Hibernians of Our Lady of Knock are sponsoring the bake table for soon to be Father Javier's first Mass. Desserts can be brought to St. John's Gym on Sunday, June 24th between 8:30 and 10am. Anyone who wishes to help please contact Janice Donahue 508-648-4510 or Patsy Mollica 508-789-8040.

If you have not registered your child for Religious Education classes, please register immediately. You may use the Family Registration Form that your child brought home or fill out a New Registration Form and mail it to our office at St. John the Guardian of Our Lady, 149 Chestnut Street, Clinton, MA 01510. Blank Registration Forms can be found at all of the entrances to the Church. Please call Mary Anne Kennedy at 978-368-0052 if you have any questions. Thank you for registering!

Thank You to all the parishioners for your support with the Mother's Day Rose Sale. Because of your generosity we were able to raise $1,010 for Visitation House, an organization that assists women in crises pregnancies. I would also like to thank the members of the Hibernians of Our Lady of Knock and the Daughters of Mary who worked to make this fundraiser so successful. ~ Janice Donahue, Hibernians of Our Lady of Knock.

The Divine Mercy Cenacle meets weekly in the St. John's Parish Center on Tuesday evening at 7:00 for prayer and discussion of Scripture, the Catechism, and the Diary of St. Faustina. Our prayer group welcomes new members anytime. If you would like to know more about our Cenacle, please call Bill or Sue Belfield (508-869-0508). We also maintain a prayer line to pray for those who are seriously ill or dying. Prayer requests can be submitted by phone (978-733-0090) or by e-mail DMCPray@gmail.com. After a prayer request is submitted, it is sent immediately to members of our group. Cenacle members pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy for the seriously ill or dying.
