Go to www.stjohnsp.org/christmas for the schedule of Masses for Christmas and New Year's. Keep in mind that the early Masses on Christmas Eve are the most crowded and the least crowded are the 9 PM Mass on Christmas Eve and the earlier Masses on Christmas Day. With the construction of the Parish Activities Center there is less parking on our lot. When the lot is full, it will be closed and worshippers will be referred to the Columbian Center or to a later Mass. We cannot permit the saving of seats at the 4 PM Masses due to the large number of worshippers. Thank you for your understanding as we attempt to accomodate as many as possible. EVANGELIZE IN ANNAPOLIS! Looking for an upclose and personal experience of evangelization. On Friday, Dec. 21 join a group of the faithful in Annapolis to invite folks to church at Christmas and to take prayer requests. Learn more and sign up at
