St. John Neumann Catholic Church

Every Catholic church holds a special place in the hearts of believers.  We go to our parish churches to encounter Jesus Christ in the Eucharist, both at Mass and in the tabernacle.  We bring our babies there to have them brought into the family of God, and we bring our deceased loved ones there to pray for them on their journey home. Couples exchange and renew wedding vows in their parish church.  The repentant sinner finds the consolation of the sacrament of Reconciliation.  In their parish church, people find the support and nourishment that can only be given by other members of the Body of Christ. 

Welcome to the parish church of St. John Neumann – 1825 households strong, 72 of which have joined us since July 2012!  Pray with us, worship with us, walk with us as we grow in our identity as daughters and sons of a loving Father and faithful disciples of Jesus Christ!

Once again St. John Neumann Parishioners are invited to help others by means of our annual Christmas Giving Tree, which will be in the Gathering Space beginning the weekend of

November 22/23

Since the erection of our Parish, the Giving Tree has been an opportunity for generosity and a sign of hope and blessing for those in need.

This year's efforts will support

Worcester County GOLD, Seton Center, Gull Creek, Berlin Nursing Home, 

and the Grace Center for Maternal and Women's Health.

Our local chapter of the St. Vincent de Paul Society manages this worthy project.

FOOD LION AND WALMART GIFT CARDS

can be purchased in the Gathering Space after all Masses

or at the Parish Office during the week.

Watching the tags disappear and be replaced with festively adorned packages reminds us that every tiny seed of a good work can blossom into a beautiful sign of God's bounty - both for the giver and for the recipient of the gift! Please join us as we work to spread hope, happiness and smiles to those families and children who are blessed through your goodness!
