WELCOME!
Hello, I’m Fr. Tom and I serve as Pastor at the St. John Paul II Catholic Chapel. It is our goal to spread the Good News throughout the community where we are all about sharpening minds, shaping hearts and helping each other to encounter Christ in our daily lives.
At the St. John Paul II Catholic Chapel, we endeavor to provide our parishioners, SJPII CHS students and their families, and all newcomers with opportunities to encounter Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the overwhelming love of God our Father. Praying together and building authentic community is our mission in spreading out to our wider community. Weekly Mass on Sundays, regular Adoration of the Eucharist with praise and worship, daily mass throughout the week along with community events and seminars are among just a few of the opportunities that we provide.
Come and join as we build the kingdom of God in the here and now. All are welcome.
Blessings in Christ,
Fr. Tom Dillon
