Time
Volunteer
The Catholic tradition believes that God asks of all of us to give of ourselves to know a joyful, fulfilling life. St. John's has many ways for families or individuals to give of their time. Most of our ministries have volunteer options - please see those pages for more information under the "Ministries" tab. Youth Ministry, Religious Education, and school clubs, offer great ways to volunteer. Please read more about these other under "Ministries," or on the school side, under "About Us - Clubs and Activities." God bless you and thank you for wanting to serve with and for our community!

Talent
Serve and Lead
Our greater Church (the entire Catholic Church as a whole) depends upon the talents of both religious and the lay faithful to make us stronger and more in union with Christ. There are many ways to lead and develop your talents at St. John's. Like public speaking? You might be called to lector. Like helping the homebound or sick? Maybe bringing them communion is for you. You could be a Eucharistic minsiter, greeter/usher, or a leader of one of our ministry programs. We need adult volunteers for our Youth Ministry Program and Religious Education in particular. For our school, we always seek lunch room volunteers, and there are many more options as well - please see the "Volunteer". If you have a specific question about a parish ministry or a volunteer opportunity, please calls us at 260-493-4553.

Treasure
Online Giving and Tithing
Please click here for our online giving portal. Parishioners can make a recurring weekly or monthly offering, or make online contributions to a special envelope or specifc fund. One time donations are also greatly appreciated!
Please know that St. John's is grateful for any offering a family makes, whatever the size or percentage of income. The tradition of supporting one's church has Old Testament roots and was originally called tithing, from tithe or 10%. The Catholic Church affirms that any financial gain we find in life is possible only because of God's grace prompting and guiding our hard work. The practice of tithing calls for returning the first 10% of what we earn to our Lord to honor His providence, grace, mercy, and love. Traditionally, 5% is shared with someone's parish and the other 5% with other deserving worldly causes.
