"The value of persistent prayer is not that God will hear us, but that we will finally hear God.”
The Vigil for Pentecost is 4 pm on Saturday, May 18, at St. John the Baptist. Fifteen people will receive the Sacrament(s) of Initiation. Please join us to celebrate this joy-filled time in person or on line. Most importantly, please keep each of them in your prayers: Will, Nick, Conner, Solomon, Tyler, Emma, Hunter, Steven, Alejandro, Karina, Jessica, Alexis, Elizabeth, James, and John.
Our younger people will receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the 2nd time during the final week of May in preparation for their receiving First Eucharist in June. Please pray for them as they continue their faith journey: Kathryn, Tyler, Ella, Sam, Marcus, Declan, Aleigha, and Jackson.
Summer Service Mondays
We are continuing to practice the Corporal Works of Mercy this summer during the month of July. We will gather for service each Monday evening in July, beginning Monday, July 15. These Mondays will include projects for families of all ages. More information will follow!
Children’s Offertory
Each Sunday Mass, all children will be invited to bring non-perishable items forward during the Offertory when the other gifts are brought to the altar. The items brought to Mass by children will be donated to the local food pantries. One of the parents from St. James made the suggestion to collect items as another way to practice the Corporal Works of Mercy – this year’s Family Faith Formation theme. We encourage families to talk with their children about ways they can help others facing food insecurity.
