WELCOME!
Hello, I’m Fr. Tom and I am the Pastor of 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 all 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. A few of the opportunities we provide are daily Mass, Mass on Sunday, and regular Adoration of the Eucharist with praise and worship, along with community events and seminars. Please join us.
Come and join as we build the kingdom of God in the here and now. All are welcome.
Blessings in Christ,
Fr. Tom Dillon
