About Our Catholic Community
Joyfully Living Our Call
St. John XXIII Congregation is a fairly new congregation but with a long a rich history. Immaculate Conception, St. Mary’s, St. Peter of Alcantara, and Port Catholic School merged on July 1, 2016, to become St. John XXIII.
This merger brought together diverse traditions and communities, creating a vibrant and unified parish. Each church brought its own unique heritage and strengths, enriching the collective spirit of St. John XXIII. Immaculate Conception is known for its beautiful architecture and longstanding community involvement. St. Mary’s has a history of nurturing faith through its engaging programs and ministries. St. Peter of Alcantara is celebrated for its commitment to social justice and outreach efforts. Our School has been a pillar of Catholic education in the area, fostering academic excellence and spiritual growth. Together, these entities form a single congregation that is dedicated to living out its mission with joy and purpose.

Vision Statement
St John XXIII is a thriving Catholic community heeding the Archbishop’s call to strengthen ourselves as a singular parish, embracing our members and continually assessing our needs.
Empowered by faith, we strive to more richly celebrate and proclaim the Gospel and encounter and serve others’ needs as a voice of hope.
We will achieve our vision through the following Ministry Goals:
Growing our Catholic Community: While we work as a newly merged parish, we will explore opportunities to further our mission and extend welcoming hospitality to all who join us while being sensitive to past practices.
Optimizing Human Resources: We will continue to evaluate and develop staffing to best support programming for our new parish, and engage our councils, commissions, sub-committees and ad-hoc committees to further the pastoral mission of our parish and archdiocese.
Best Utilizing Buildings and Grounds: We will focus on best utilizing and maintaining our existing facilities and explore options for better meeting our ministry needs.
Strengthening our Ministries: We will strengthen our ministries through guidance and dedication from our pastoral staff, councils, commissions and volunteers, and explore new ministries with an eye toward young families and the youth of our parish.
Supporting our Parish School: We will collectively work to strengthen and support our parish school, furthering its mission to provide a faith-filled education.
We dedicate our efforts to realize our vision and ministry goals through our ministry plan.
