Welcome to 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!
Rev. Joseph MPR Cocucci, KCHS
Pastor

There is no cost to you to participate. And if you travel or other circumstances prevent you from attending mass, this program will allow your monthly offerings to continue uninterrupted. Many of our families have taken advantage of this easy-to-use approach to contributing to our parish ministries. If you are interested, please complete an Electronic Giving Form or contact Deacon Dave Kolesky in our parish office at 410-208-2956. The form can be found on the parish website, in the Online Giving tab, in the gathering space, and at the parish office. All online giving information is secure and kept totally confidential.
WIDOWS/WIDOWERS SUPPORT GROUP
This multi-parish group meets on the 2nd Monday of each month at 2:00 PM in the Ocean Pines area, and on the 4th Monday of each month for lunch and conversation at a local restaurant. Our mission is to host and lead a support group to guide and comfort widowed Christians. Prayer, discussion, sharing and social support are the keys for success.
For additional information contact: Ms. Jerry Annis 410-352-3399.
Inclement Weather and Mass
In the event of inclement weather, you can call the main parish number (410) 208-2956 to find out if Mass has been cancelled; a recorded message will alert you to that cancellation. Please check back at this website as well. In addition, the parish will notify WBOC (Salisbury) and ask them to publish any closings.
Primarily, however, cancellations will be published by means of Flocknote. If you have not yet registered for Flocknote, please take a moment now to do so. This is extremely important. Instructions for registering for Flocknote can be found by clicking this Link.

FAITH ENVIRONMENT/SAFE ENVIRONMENT
Did you know that in 2003 in response to the United States Conference of Bishops' Charter for the Protection of Children, the Diocese developed a safe environment program entitled For the Sake of God's Children? The Bishop, all priests, deacons, seminarians, religious brothers and sisters, and all lay employees and volunteers participate in the program to assure that a comprehensive, safe environment exists in our parishes, schools and institutions. For more information, go to https://cdow.org and click on For the Sake of God's Children.
