A Note from Father Yanta We have received a wonderful response to the Time and Talent portion of our Stewardship drive. Thank you all for giving so generously of yourselves to St. John the Baptist. This weekend is the beginning of our Stewardship Treasure drive. We will be asking you to prayerfully consider increasing by 5 percent your commitment to the annual operation fund. In addition, we will be asking you to make an extraordinary gift to our special mortgage appeal. Based on the feedback from the parish during the campaign planning study, there was a desire to retire the debt as quickly as possible. With that in mind we are conducting a special mortgage appeal. Given that there are 10 years remaining on our mortgage loan, we looked at several options for paying off the debt. If we committed to a threeyear plan, we would likely need a total of three efforts, over nine years, to be debt free. It was decided to move forward with a five-year appeal instead of the typical three-year, with the goal of retiring the entire debt in one final campaign instead of extending it out over three additional campaigns. The asking levels were determined with the goal of retiring our debt in this final five-year appeal. The ask amounts are significant because they are supporting a significant goal we believe we can achieve with your support. In addition, they are based on past personal giving in campaigns and annual offertory. These levels were determined in the utmost confidence so as to retain the privacy of our donors. Over the next week, you will be receiving a packet describing the needs of St. John the Baptist and inviting you to participate. I would like to thank all of you for your ongoing support of our parish and ask you to prayerfully consider giving as generously to both appeals as your situation allows.

St. John’s welcomes Lucas Henry Strack, son of Jeff and Emily Strack, who was baptized here on October 19, 2014 by Father Yanta. All Souls Day Commemoration of our deceased parishioners for the past year will be celebrated at the 5:00pm Mass of Anticipation on Saturday, November 1st. A light supper will be served for the families involved after Mass in Louis Hall. The ceremony of the candles will take place after the homily. Each of the families are invited to come to the front of church and accept a candle in honor of the deceased. They then place the candle by the picture of the deceased, followed by a few moments of silent prayer. Pews on both sides of the middle aisles in front will be reserved for the 24 families involved. Are all welcome to attend this 5:00pm Mass but realize we will have more attending than usual. All parishioners are invited to record names of deceased family members in the Memory Book in front of church. Masses and other prayers will be offered for them during the month of November. Dear Fr. Yanta, I want to acknowledge receiving your parish offering of $257.41 to the Global Solidarity Sunday Collection. Thank you for providing needed aid to the pastoral ministries in Latin America and assisting in the restoration of the Church in Central and Eastern Europe. Thank you for showing solidarity with the emerging Church in Africa and providing ongoing support to the most vulnerable served by the efforts of Catholic Relief Services. May you be blessed for your service and solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Christ.
