Starting November 30, for Advent, St. John Vianney Parish will begin using the Mass of Christ the Savior mass setting. We will continue to use this setting until the Solemnity of the Epiphany. Then we will return to the Mass of Christ the Savior for the period in-between Easter Sunday and the Solemnity of the Holy Trinity.

Auspice Maria: The Power of Noticing.

A new podcast episode from our bishop.

We would love for you to sing with us! Youth Christmas Choir w/ Samantha Rossignol. Date: October 28th, 2025. Time: 2:45-3:30. Location: FKES Music Room. Grades: 2-6.

In May 2025, we became aware that the windows at the St. Charles Borromeo church were losing their seal and were no longer efficient. As a result, the double pane windows are collecting moisture between the panes, and we are experiencing heat loss and an increase in heating expenses. Our goal is to raise $25,000 to cover the cost of the window replacement project and keep funds for future renovations when needed. Part of our fundraising efforts include a “Buy a Window” campaign to allow people to put money towards the purchase of a window to honor a loved one or in memory of a loved one who has passed away. Each window costs approximately $375 to replace the panes. A plaque will be created noting their contribution in their loved one’s name. This plaque will be displayed in the back of St. Charles Borromeo church. If you are interested in “purchasing a window,” you may stop by the rectory to fill out a form, or ask one of the committee team members (Arnold Martin, Jenelle Jandreau, Malvia Landry, Patti Voisine, Karen Jandreau, and Lorie Voisine) for a form that you can fill out and drop off at the rectory. Thank you so much for your generosity.

It can sometimes be difficult to give, especially if you are already giving. But it is important to remember that we are still a part of our local parish. And when that parish is in need we are ALL IN NEED. We can see even the Catechism reflects this need:
