A Message from our Parish Pastor, Father Phil

Dear Parishioners:
A up-date of
The Catholic Comeback Matrix [version 4 – July 1, 2020] was issued this week. To access it on-line
CLICK HERE.
The major changes are: (1) that maximum participation at daily Mass, baptisms, weddings and funerals is now the same as for Weekend Masses; and (2) we can have communal rosaries and Eucharistic Adoration with up to fifty people in attendance. We remain in Phase One of
The Catholic Comeback and are likely to stay there through the month of July, barring radical developments in the course of the pandemic.

Heavenly Father, you have given us the gifts of life and liberty and entrust to your people the duty to guard these gifts wherever they are threatened.
Help us to protect the freedom of all
to follow the Gospel of your Son, Jesus Christ, and to bring his light and truth to the ends of the earth.
Guide all who play a role in enacting legislation to uphold the freedom of conscience of all citizens.
Send us your Spirit to inspire in us
the wisdom and courage needed
to witness to the truth and to stand up for all whose religious liberty is endangered.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord.
Amen.

Why does a Catholic Church Operate a Concession Stand?
St. John the Baptist parish provides a large portion of the cost of operating our parish school, taking up a substantial share of the ministerial capacity of our parish. Routinely 40% or greater of school operating costs come directly from parish funds. We do this because it is a part of our faith and ministry as Church and a sign of our discipleship of Jesus Christ. Just like our families, we are constantly looking for cost improvement areas and greater funding avenues. It is a constant struggle between keeping our schools affordable for as many as possible and providing fair and equitable compensation for our staff.
The fundraising opportunity our Road America Concession Stand provides helps us significantly off-set the cost of our parish school operations, thereby making Catholic education available to all who desire it for their children.
Supporting our concession stand at Road America shows commitment to ensuring the option of Catholic education in Plymouth.

Message from our School Principal, Amy Nelson

This week's teacher highlights include our 4th and 5th grade teachers, and our Learning Support Teacher. The teachers work hard to meet the needs of their students differentiating instruction whenever possible, including incorporating a guided reading program reaching the varying reading levels within each classroom. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers met virtually one-on-one and in small groups to best meet the needs of their students.

Mr. Greg Kohler-4th Grade
"I believe that each child is a unique gift from God who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, socially, and spiritually. It is my desire as an educator to help students use their God-given abilities by providing a safe and Christian environment."
|
|
Ms. Katie Schoemer - 5th Grade
"I believe that every child is a unique individual who needs a consistent, caring, and motivating environment to fully reach their emotional, intellectual, social, and physical potential. My goal is to guide students to reach this full potential by establishing a classroom community that is supportive, engaging, and safe so that each child has the opportunity to experience success."
|
|
Mrs. Shelly Birenbaum
Learning Support Teacher
"
I believe that an effective teacher provides a welcoming and safe environment that is interactive and collaborative and promotes problem-solving and critical thinking skills. An effective teacher also realizes individual student learning styles, and facilitates learning through organization and careful planning, while being flexible to allow students to develop and grow both academically and personally.
