Parish life without trending audio. We are so grateful for this community 🤍

One year has passed since our St John Vianney parish community was devastated by Hurricane Helene. Looking back helps us to grieve the losses, remember the joys even admidst the suffering, honor how far we have come, and know there is a future full of hope. Today we were able to celebrate the first regular daily mass in 366 days. The last picture is only a small representation of the strength and love we share. St John Vianney, pray for us.

Last night was a blast! 🎉 We had a great time with our Youth Group and Faith Formation- fun, activities, games, and some singing! Swipe to hear the younger ones share their amazing voices 😊

Our blood drive is happening today until 1pm! Stop by and help save a life! Every donation makes a difference.😄

September 15th, the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows.🤍 Swipe to discover the seven promises Our Lady made to St. Bridget of Sweden for those who meditate on her Seven Sorrows. 🙏

Daily Mass returns on Fridays at St. John Vianney! Starting September 26th, join us in the church every Friday at 9:00am for Daily Mass. We look forward to seeing you there! 🎉

JOY-filled kickoff to Youth Ministry and Faith Formation last night! We are just getting started! 🙌🏼😎

BYE BYE BYE 👋🏼 to our portable AC unit and generator! You kept us cool but it’s time to move on!

Dear Lord, Through the intercession of Our Lady, Star of the Sea, protect us from all storms. Its been a long 10 months, and we know our people are starting to feel so many emotions around storm season... let us continue to be reminded of the first line in the first reading... Thus says the LORD: I know their works and their thoughts, and I come to gather nations of every language; they shall come and see my glory.

It's coming.... be sure to come to mass each week at St John Vianney to hear important updates and more about the future at St John Vianney.... 10 months since the hurricanes destroyed our buildings, still dealing with so much, but what they didn't destroy is our spirit and our desire to know, love, and serve the Lord...

Mass continues to be in the church ( since Mother's Day).. Join us 4pm Saturday or 9:30am & 11:30am Sunday. Hospitality under the tent resumes after Labor Day.

Happy Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Your mama wants you in church! Join us! Friday, August 15th @ 9am In the church!

Dream big and fly high! @frvictorr led a beautiful prayer and backpack blessing to all students and families as they begin a new school year. It was a bittersweet moment as we recognize that after 73 years, we will not be welcoming students back in our hallways tomorrow due to the catastrophic damage feom the fall 2024 hurricane season. But we continue to be committed to Catholic education and supporting our families and students. New beginnings for all, especially @d13g0__.m as he goes off to college to play football at Catholic U!!

What a blessing for our parish staff to spend our patron's feast day filling our cups for the upcoming year and learning about Ignatian spirituality! It is an honor and privilege to pray with and for the parishioners we have been called to serve. St. John Vianney, pray for us!

That's right!!! It's the Feast of our Patron St. John Marie Baptiste Vianney!!! Our community is making lemonade out of lemons and made sure to celebrate our feast well this weekend at Sunday mass.. over 10 months since the hurricanes devastated us, but we are making progress day by day with each other to lean on. 1.Fr. Victor shared an incredible message about our patron and had a relic displayed for all to pray with. 2. We celebrated 2 baptisms- congrats Alonso & Clark (@frvictorr was the godfather to his nephew and introduced our community to his pastor growing up, Fr. Jacob) 3. Kona Ice Truck came out to cool down our parishioners after mass with a sweet treat. 4. We had nametag Sunday and were all smiles getting to out names with the familiar faces we sit near each week. 5. We said goodbye to @bigburton_50 as he goes off to college this week.

2 baptisms today=double the blessings for the people of St John Vianney. Congrats to the 2 newest members of the Catholic Church!!!

So grateful to @beaches_chamber for reaching out and taking the time to discuss how we can all work together and continue to weather the storm
