The Grace and Peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you!
Welcome to St. John Church, located on Route 372 East in Cromwell, Connecticut. We are a Roman Catholic faith community whose focus is on being a family. Through Baptism, our members are all daughters and sons of one Father.
St. John’s is in the Diocese of Norwich, Connecticut, with the Most Reverend Michael R. Cote, D.D. as its Bishop.
Since 1995, the Franciscan Friars of Our Lady of Angels Province of the Order of Friars Minor Conventual have staffed the Parish.
If you are new to Cromwell or are looking for a church in the area, we invite you to come and join us for a weekend liturgy.
If you are already a member of St. John Parish family, we encourage you to continue to live your faith and to build a Parish family in the spirit of the Gospel. We are grateful that you generously share your faith, love, time, talent, and treasure - all for the glory of God and in service to others.
Fr. Mark L. Curesky, OFM Conv.

Pastor's musings* Unlike last year, this year we are having an actual “Giving Tree” in the sanctuary.
There are 5 agencies who have asked us to be Santa’s helpers: Catholic Charities in Middletown; the Department of Children and Families (DCF); the Human Services Department of Cromwell; St. Vincent dePaul in Middletown and the 4 seminarians of the Diocese of Norwich.
~ Catholic Charities in Middletown has given us a list of children from 4 months to 15 years old. In their letters to Santa, they have asked for a toy and clothes. Each tag will give what each has asked Santa. You are not being asked to respond to every one of their wishes. For example, a tag may have 3 wishes. You are asked to respond to just one. When you drop off the gift in the Church, please include the tag and please do not wrap the gift.
~ The Department of Children and Families (DCF) has asked for gift cards: $25 gift cards (VISA/Mastercard, Amazon, Walmart or Target) for the children and youth under their care. Knowing your generosity, they asked that the gift cards be all the same - $25 - so that every child/youth receives a card for the same value. Please attach the gift card to the giving tree tag when you drop it off in the Church.
~ The Human Services Department of Cromwell has asked our Parish for warm clothing: a winter hat or a sweatshirt. So the tags for Cromwell Human Services have the gender, age and size. Please do not wrap your gift and please include the giving tree tag when you drop off your gift in the Church.
~ St. Vincent dePaul has asked us to focus on Mary and Joseph setting up a home in Nazareth after Jesus was born. They have asked for new items (not used) to help formerly homeless individuals for whom St. Vincent dePaul have found a place to call home: for example, bath towels, sheets, a fry pan, dishes. So each of the tags for St. Vincent de Paul will specify a needed home item. When you drop off your gift in the Church, please include the tag and please do not wrap the gift.
~ The 4 Seminarians of the Diocese of Norwich have asked Santa for gift cards. These are to be mailed to the seminarians directly in the provided addressed envelopes.
The deadline for your giving tree gifts is Sunday, December 11.
God bless,
fr. Mark -
