Marian Theatre Guild is Whiting’s longest running community theatre!
Since the days of Jim LaPert back in the 1920’s, St. John’s has had a rich history of performance. Today, The Theatre Guild continues that long tradition of producing excellent drama and musical Theatre in our School/Parish auditorium.
The group was originally organized as a social activity for the parishioners in 1926 with its first production called “Mammy’s Lil’ Wild Rose.” It officially became “The Drama Club” in 1928. It continues today as an award winning Theatre steeped in theatrical and community history.
Two shows per year are presented: one in the spring and one in the fall season. Auditions to the shows are open to everyone.

Rosary Society
Important Rosary Society Scheduling update in regards to the COVID-19 Pandemic please click here
The purpose of the Rosary Society is to cultivate and promote devotion to our Lord and His Mother by attendance at monthly Benediction and the daily recitation of the rosary. The Society welcomes all women of the parish.
Meetings are held on the third Thursday of most months and begins at 1:00 pm with the praying of the Rosary followed by a meeting and refreshments.
Members are assigned to a group called a “Rose” made up of a Promoter and 14 women. Each woman is assigned to pray one Mystery of the rosary daily. Beside the recitation of the rosary, members are asked to attend wakes and funerals of deceased members, the monthly meeting and various social affairs sponsored by the Society.
