Vision 2020: Building the Future at St. John the Apostle Catholic ParishA Campaign of the Advancement Foundation
Please email any Vision 2020 questions or concerns to ccargile@sjtanrh.com or bpeffers@sjtanrh.com.This is an exciting time in St. John the Apostle Parish!
We have an opportunity to build on the beautiful legacy that we have enjoyed for over 50 years. We are looking ahead to the future for ourselves, our children and our grandchildren. After all these years our parish is beginning to show signs of wear.Two critical areas that need improvement are the rectory and Outreach Office.
The rectory has needed repair for many years. The roof leaks, the plaster on the ceiling has fallen, the light fixture in the kitchen holds rainwater, there are rodents living in the attic and cracks in the walls.
The Outreach Office has been using the old hospital on Frawley Drive for more than 10 years. We spent a year researching the possibility of renovating. We are unable to bring the building up to American Disability Code and the Fire Code which is required before any renovations could happen.
Our legacy has been the leadership at St. John the Apostle Parish and our Social Outreach program. We are asking you to help continue this legacy with your prayers and financial support. We have a funding base of almost $500,000 to begin these two projects. We need you to prayerfully consider a donation so we can make Vision 2020: Building the Future at St. John the Apostle Catholic Parish a reality in the coming year.

The day finally arrived for groundbreaking for the new Outreach Center! After much hard work and support from so many parishioners we turned over shovels of dirt on Monday, September 21, 2020. Bishop Olson began the short ceremony with a prayer and praise for the commitment our parish has made to continue the Gospel led mandate to serve the poor. Because of COVID restrictions it was necessary to limit the attendance to Bishop Olson, Mayor Oscar Trevino, Fr. Jack McKone and major donors. You can watch the groundbreaking on our website or the parish app. Look for more information and photos in the upcoming edition of the North Texas Catholic magazine. We are deeply grateful to every donor who contributed to the success of this stage of the Vision 2020 campaign!
¡Finalmente llegó el día de romper la tierra para el inicio de la construcción del nuevo edificio de Servicios Sociales! Después de mucho trabajo y el apoyo de tantos feligreses, rompimos tierra el lunes 21 de septiembre del 2020. El Obispo Olson comenzó la breve ceremonia con una oración y alabanza por el compromiso que nuestra parroquia ha hecho de continuar el mandato del Evangelio de servir a los pobres. Debido a las restricciones de COVID fue necesario limitar la asistencia al Obispo Olson, el Alcalde Oscar Treviño, el Padre Jack McKone y principales donantes.
