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!

St. Vincent De Paul

ST. VINCENT de PAUL ORLANDO – Empowering communities, changing lives

Vincent de Paul, “the Father of the Poor,” had a life so varied and rich in the experience of charity that he has been the model for all kinds of good within the Church. There were three foundations that would express his life’s work for the poor. One was the Confraternity of Charity (Ladies of Charity) begun in 1617, which enlisted lay women in serving the poor in the parishes. The second was the Congregation of the Mission (priests and brothers), founded in 1624 with a mission to preach the gospel to the rural poor and to form men for the priesthood. The third was in 1633 when Vincent co-founded with Louise de Marillac the Daughters of Charity, a community of women consecrated by a vow to serve the poor. St. Vincent de Paul is the patron saint of all charitable works.

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.

Helping at Christmas

Help your Parish community for those in need.

Music 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.

St Joseph the Worker

The St. Joseph the Worker Ministry at St. John Vianney Catholic Church is dedicated to the ongoing care, maintenance, and beautification of our church campus. Inspired by St. Joseph, the humble carpenter who faithfully provided for the Holy Family through the work of his hands, our volunteers offer their time and talents to keep our buildings, grounds, and sacred spaces welcoming and well kept. From landscaping and gardening to repairs, painting, and seasonal projects, every task is done as an offering to God and a gift to our parish family. Through their quiet dedication, these ministers help ensure that all who come to St. John Vianney find a place of beauty and peace that lifts their hearts to worship. Anyone willing to lend a hand, whatever their skill level, is warmly invited to join us in this meaningful work.
