A Message from our Parish Pastor, Father Phil
|
|
Dear Parishioners:
The thing that makes me guardedly optimistic about our ability to make it through the current fiscal year successfully, notwithstanding all of the indicators that it’s going to be a terrible year in a profit-and-loss sense, is the existence of the St. John the Baptist Endowment Fund, created under the leadership of Fr. Wayne Bittner twenty-five years ago.
|
|
Please pray the rosary with us each Friday at 4:00 pm on Facebook. There will be a compilation of live Rosaries, new pre-recorded Rosaries, and previously recorded throughout the summer.
|
Our parish family extends its sympathy to
the family and friends of
Maureen R. Schmahl
May Maureen, with God’s
Blessing, rest in peace.

RCIA - Celebrating and Welcoming
|
|
The process by which adults come into the Church has come to be known as “RCIA”, which is short for “The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults.” This weekend, during Sunday's 9:30 AM Mass we welcome four RCIA candidates who are joining our Catholic faith family - Katherine, Kay, Maria, and Tyler! Welcome to the family! Thank you to all who journeyed with the cohort in some way (teachers, sponsors, mentors, peers, family, loved ones, etc.). And a huge thank you to Cate Pearce for being the constant and faith-filled leader of the pack! Learn more about RCIA.

Missionary Appeal - August 15-16
|
|
The annual Mission appeal by ZeruZeru, Inc will be virtual next weekend, August 15/16. We look forward to hearing from the Boos family and having a second collection in support of Zeru Zeru Inc and the monumental work that they do. If you haven't yet turned in your mission specific envelope, next weekend is the time to bring it in. Please write checks payable to the parish and include “Mission Appeal - Zeru Zeru Inc” in the memo line. You are also able to donate online through our parish website https://sjbplymouth.org/give. Thank you in advance for any monetary amount of support you are able to provide.
The funds collected through our twinning relationship with ZeruZeru, Inc. continue to pay for the protection, care, and education of the vulnerable children at the center. Sister Helena has reported that it is an especially dangerous time for people with albinism in Tanzania due to the coronavirus and upcoming elections. We are all struggling in this unprecedented time, however, let us continue to come together as one family, sharing our love and kindness, generosity and prayer where and when we are able.

From the School Principal, Mrs. Amy Nelson
|
|
|
This past school year did not end the way any of us would have anticipated it to. The “typical” graduation ceremony cannot occur in accordance with the Catholic Comeback Plan. However, we are able to celebrate a Baccalaureate Mass and will honor our graduates in this special Mass Sunday at 1 pm with their immediate family members in attendance.
|
|
The Baccalaureate Mass will be live streamed for those not able to be in attendance. I am very proud of this year’s graduating class for their hard work and commitment to their studies and for modeling being a disciple of Christ for others on a daily basis. Best wishes to each student as they embrace the next exciting chapter in their lives! CLICK HERE TO VIEW MASS
