Will St. John's Rise To The Challege?

Last night Fr. Flores threw down on St. John's! In a very friendly way of course... :)

And Fr. Flores was packin'! Bringing in $3,865 in total pledges!

It's a high bar, but I know that St. John's can rise to the challenge! Let's show Fr. Flores what the Cathedral can do!

Synopsis of The Human Experience

This is a true story of a band of brothers who travel the world in search of the answers to the questions: Who am I? What is the reason for living? Have we forgotten what it means to be human? Their journey begins in the "concrete jungle," where the brothers spend the coldest days of the year living among the homeless on the streets of New York City. As their story unfolds, they find themselves among people from the far corners of the world: from the orphans and disabled children of Peru, to the abandoned lepers in the forests of Ghana, Africa. What they discover impacts them forever. The brothers are awakened to the beauty of the human person and the resilience of the human spirit.

Day 3 Has Begun!
