Trunk or Treat

Bring the family to SJV's first-ever Trunk or Treat event on Saturday, October 30, from 3:00-5:00pm. 

Costumes are welcome, but not required (if your family is planning on attending 5:00 Mass).  Volunteers wishing to pass out candy will need to have completed the Protecting God's Children training required by the Diocese.  If you would like to volunteer, please email Stacie Henderson at  or text her at 217-899-2087. 

If you are not able to participate but would like to donate candy for the event, you may drop it off at the back of the church at daily masses, in the lobby of the Activity Center on Wednesday from 5:00 - 7:30, or at the church office during regular office hours.  

Welcome and thank you for visiting the website of St. John Vianney Catholic Parish in Sherman, Illinois. We invite you to come be a part of our community of faith by your presence and participation in the Eucharist as well as our many activities. Our patron, St. John Vianney , was a humble, holy priest, who loved his people and served them with great fervor and dedication. 

Join us in welcoming our new Pastor, Father Fredrick Chima Mbiere!  Fr. Freddie is a Catholic priest of Nnewi Diocese in Nigheria, West Africa.  He comes to St. John Vianney from HSHS St. John's Hospital where he served as the full time Priest Chaplain for the past 5 years.
