Dear Parishioners & Friends,

It is with great sadness that we bring you the news that our parish - while remaining open - will no longer be offering English Masses after June 1, 2025, due to the shortage of priests in the area.  We have fought the good fight for several years but have now reached a point where there is not a priest available in the foreseeable future to be assigned as our Pastor.

I am ever grateful for the leadership, selfless service, patience, and dedication of the members of our parish council who have so willingly stepped forward to help us navigate through some challenging times with the departure of Fr. Tomy.  But the fact remains that relying on multiple visiting priests every weekend is simply not a sustainable solution.

The good news, however, is that the Polish Masses will continue as usual at 10:30am on Sundays.  Although it will be a challenge, the Polish community has decided that they will step up and do everything they can to keep our Parish open and offer Masses to our Polish community.  And we want to express our heartfelt thanks for all they've given our parish over the years - we worked as a team but couldn't have done it without our caring and loyal Polish friends!

Our parish has been a vibrant and inspiring part of our local community since 1958, when our original parishioners sacrificed and worked tirelessly to help build this Church.  Although small, we have always been a welcoming and friendly parish, extending our hand to those in need and offering a family atmosphere where everyone could get to know their fellow parishioners.

Much gratitude goes out to Deacon Joe Dalpiaz and all our priests who have faithfully served us throughout the years, especially Fr. Stanley Drewniak who, through perseverance and faith, was able to bring about the first Polish Masses to our parish.  He also initiated the beautiful renovation of our Church and followed it through to completion.

We also want to thank our dedicated employees and the many volunteers who have given of their time and talent to this 
parish throughout the years - words can't express our deep appreciation for all you have done - it's been a true labor of love!

We are grateful to God for all the years He has allowed us to worship at St. John Vianney.  Although this change is difficult and brings with it a sense of loss, always remember God's unfailing love and we urge you to hold fast to your faith and trust in His Divine plan.

Blessings to all,

Fr. Dan Hoehn  (Administrator)
