St. John Full-Day Pre-K Program

At St. John Catholic Elementary School we believe that Pre-Kindergarten is the time to turn your curious child into an active, interested student who looks forward to going to school. A love of learning that begins in Pre-K starts your child down the road that leads to success in high school and beyond.

Our full-day, center-based, Pre-K program for 4 year olds, offers the young learner a safe, caring environment, where the fundamentals of literacy, math, religion, science and social studies are introduced. As students play, learn, make their own choices and socialize, our teachers work to help children develop creative and critical thinking, as well as large and fine motor skills, through active, hands-on exploration.

CLICK HERE to read a A Message from Cardinal Dolan

We are looking for our parishioners who are active  duty or retired law enforcement or first responders to answer Cardinal Dolan's call to address the growing potential threat of an attack in our community.
 
You have already taken the oath to protect the innocent. Will you take a stand now to protect your own church and community? No dues, no schedules, no hassles. Get involved — answer the call.
 
For more information, please speak with Jim Cully (manager@sjegoshen.org).









We would like to assemble a group of musicians – singers, instrumentalists, etc. – to lead the music at the 5:00pm Sunday Masses.  The most pressing need is someone with keyboard skills, preferably on the piano, but we envision this ensemble including a variety of  other instruments – guitars, woodwinds, brass, percussion.  We already have one willing soul – but we welcome more!  If interested, please speak with  Fr. George.

ACTION NEEDED! In his annual budget, Governor Cuomo included a radical bill (S.7511) that would eliminate virtually all limitations on abortion in New York State. It would ensure that abortion is legal through all nine months of pregnancy, for any reason; it would allow for more  late-term abortions, even though studies show that a fetus experiences pain at 20 weeks; it would eliminate the law that requires that a baby born alive after an abortion be given adequate healthcare, even though as many as 5 to10% of babies in late-term abortion are born alive; it would permit non-doctors to do abortions, which would endanger the health of            women; and it would eliminate all criminal penalties for abortions - so even if an abortion was against a mother's will (involuntary or coerced), or if an unborn child is deliberately targeted for an act of violence, it could not be prosecuted.  New York State already has far too many abortions.  We don't need broader abortion laws - we need our law to respect human life at all stages.  This is particularly dangerous because the law requires a budget to be passed by April 1.  Please contact your state legislators to oppose this extreme bill. To do so, visit www.nyscatholic.org and click on "Take Action." You can also go to www.newyorkersforlife.org to keep up on the latest developments









Catholic Charities Community Services offers an inexpensive and confidential NETWORK OF COUNSELING SERVICES.  Please speak with Fr. George or Fr. Giacona for more information.

Junior Choir All children in Grades 3 through 8 are invited to join the St. John’s Children’s Choir.  Singing in a children’s choir is a great way for them to learn about and  actively participate in the Church’s liturgy.  The Choir sings at the Noon Mass on the First Sunday of the month.  Two rehearsals are scheduled for each week:        Tuesdays, from 2:45 to 3:30, and Thursdays, from 6:00 to 6:45.  Choir members choose which rehearsal they prefer to attend.  Participation in only one  rehearsal each week is required.  Anyone wishing to join the choir should  contact  Dr. Hubbard at 845-932-5093  or after Mass.

 Senior Choir We’ve all heard the old adage “Those who sing pray twice.”  At St. John’s we continue the Church’s tradition of having a choir help us pray through singing.  The choir rehearses on Thursdays from 7:00 to 8:30 and is open to all adults at  St. John’s,  including high school students.  The ability to read music is NOT a requirement.  If you are interested, come along to a rehearsal and give it a try.  If you have questions, please feel free to contact Dr. Hubbard  at 845-932-5093 or any member of the choir.
