Perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament: Chapel
We are St. John of the Cross Catholic Community. Our beginnings go back to the 1920’s and the lemon groves of east San Diego County. For almost a century we have been serving the spiritual needs of its families. Today St. John of the Cross is a very diverse church of more than 4000 families. Hispanics were the basis of our early community, later Navy veterans settled the area, and finally large numbers of Filipinos joined the community. Chaldeans and African-Americans also make up our membership roles.
Our mission statement calls us to know, love and serve God. We do this by: loving one another, becoming educated in our Catholic faith, sharing our God given gifts of time, treasure and talent, providing sacramental preparation for the parish community, being ecumenically minded with the whole surrounding community in which we live, reaching out to the less fortunate, living our faith at all times.
Scrip Gift Card Program
Do you shop at Starbucks, Vons, Sams Club, Walmart, Kohl, Home Depot? Do you love to have a bit to eat local restaurants like California Pizza Kitchen, Applebees or even Carls Jr? While the holiday season is over you can still purchase scrip gift cards to use for your own everyday shopping and restaurant needs.
Support our parish community by purchasing scrip gift cards through the church. Stop by the Parish Office on Mondays from 8 to 10 am to order and purchase your gift cards, or stop by after Sunday masses. There are over 600 merchants to choose from. To see a complete list, visit the parish website at http://st-johnofthecross.org/ministryscrip.html.
By purchasing these gift cards through the church, our church gets anywhere from 2 – 25% of the cash back. There are no fee, hidden charges, just regular gift cards.
Thank you for your support! Happy shopping!
