Welcome to St. John Vianney Catholic Church

Stewardship

SJV School

St. John Vianney School – Colegio Bilingüe has the honor of being the only dual language program in the Diocese of Orlando. It brings our mission statement to a lived reality. We are a communion of cultures dedicated to extending Catholic hospitality as servants of the Gospel.

Our program celebrates diverse cultures and embodies our mission of extending Catholic hospitality. Through immersive language learning, students become bilingual, bi-literate learners, gaining an advantage in our multicultural world. With a gradual progression from Pre-K4 to seventh grade, we aim to be a fully bilingual, dual language school by 2027.

Partnering with Boston College’s TWIN-CS program, we ensure access to top-notch research and development in language immersion education. Join us in creating a vibrant, diverse, and Christ-centered learning environment for your child. Together, we foster bilingualism, bi-literacy, multiculturalism, and strong family involvement.

Our Catholic Appeal

Beloved Sisters and Brothers in Christ:
I pray with gratitude for you, knowing of your faithfulness. We have just celebrated the seasons of Advent and Christmas and soon, we begin the season of Lent. After the Advent and Christmas seasons, we are even more prepared for this journey; we are joyful and diligent about our holy living imbued by the breath of God. Now as we near the end of the ‘in-between’ space of our liturgical seasons and our daily living, we do not pause on God. This is not a ‘time out;’ we are always in motion to continue the path of God, the way of the Lord, our pilgrimage to Heaven!

Ask Father Ojeda

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Help our St. John Vianney Parish and School grow in the Faith and Knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Post your “Catholic Questions” to the contact form and we’ll post both your question and the formal “Catholic Response” in the Catechetical section of the new St. John Vianney website weekly. I look forward to hearing from our Parish!

Helping at Christmas

The Christmas Tree of Hope 2026 is a parish program that brings Christmas joy to children registered in the parish. Families can register at the parish office from November 9 through December 11, 2026, and will be verified through the church’s registration system. Parishioners who wish to help are invited to take a tag from the Tree of Hope in the church narthex, which shows the type of help a family needs. Gifts will be received December 11 through December 14, 2026, and must be delivered unwrapped.

Ministry

The St. John Vianney Music Ministry serves our multiculture parish by leading the community in prayer and worship through sacred music and song. Rooted in the Catholic tradition, our ministry seeks to glorify God, enrich the celebration of the Holy Mass, and help everyone participate more fully in the liturgy.

Our ministry brings together cantors, choir members and instrumentalists who volunteer to share their gifts and love of music in service to the Church. Through hymns, psalms and traditional and contemporary sacred music repertoire, we strive to create an atmosphere that inspires faith, reflection, and joyful praise.

Whether you are an experienced musician or simply have a desire to sing and serve, all are welcome to share their talents with our parish community. Together, we use the gift of music to draw hearts closer to Christ and strengthen our parish family in worship.
