Pray With Us!

SJSC Novena Prayer

We would like you to join us in a novena to prepare for the summer conference: 9 days of prayer, beginning on May 29th and ending on June 6th, the first day of the conference. Simply say this prayer every day, and consider adding a Rosary or a sacrifice, or another form of prayer to accompany it.

“If you remain in my word, you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.”
John 8:31-32

With these words of St. John as our initial and guiding light, we invite you to search with us at the Saint John Summer Conference this year. Through a 4 day journey into the spirit and life of the Community of Saint John, plunge yourself into a life greater than your own and meet other young adults who share your interest in the faith. Let’s seek the Truth together as we remember Christ’s passion, death, and resurrection through beautiful liturgies, bold witnesses, and inspiring community.

Come to the Saint John Summer Conference!

Invite your friends!

As a part of the Saint John Summer Conference, the Community of St. John will be hosting Family Stations of the Cross through the streets of downtown Peoria on Friday, June 7th at 7pm. We will meet outside of St. Mary’s Cathedral to begin our prayerful journey. We celebrate the Stations of the Cross to witness to Christ’s Passion and to help us enter into the mystery of The Cross. Come join us with the whole family! Shuttles will be available for drivers who park at the Spalding Center, and crossing guards will assist throughout.
