SOCIAL ACTIVITIES

S.J.N. Travel Club

The Travel Club of St. John Neumann came into being in 1990. The parish was celebrating its 25^th anniversary and a trip to Rome was the culmination of a year of festivities.  Since then, successful travels have been taken to Ireland, Alaska, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Germany, Austria and Switzerland.  Parish families and friends of all ages are invited to participate in this enjoyment of travel originating from our parish.

 

Young at Heart—Seniors Group

Young at Heart is a social organization fostering Christian unity among our fellow parishioners and those from neighboring parishes.  Guest speakers are invited; games are played, and crafts are made.  This group provides an extra dimension to our Christian life, sharing joy and laughter, another element for a healthy soul.  Young at Heart meets on the second Thursday of the month in the Rectory Meeting Room.

Prime Timers is a group that plans trips for parishioners.  Volunteers are welcome to assist the moderator.  Trips are planned for the fall and spring each year.

 

Acoholics Anonymous

AA District Office ………………..215-574-6900

Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other so that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. At St. John Neumann, we meet Wednesday nights 8:00 to 9:00 P.M. in the Rectory Meeting Room.  The meeting room entrance is off the parking lot.

 

Red Cross Blood Drive

Each year the parish responds to a Red Cross invitation to sponsor a blood drive.  The Parish Center is made available and a parish staff representative serves as liaison to facilitate the service.  Parishioners are encouraged to donate blood.  Donor forms are available in advance.  Parish volunteers call donors to remind them of the date and time.
