Mission Statement
St. John’s Parish family prayerfully worships, studies, teaches and lives our faith in Jesus Christ.
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.

Families Moving Forward Nov 16-23
Hope Lutheran Church, in partnership with St. John the
Baptist Catholic Church, will provide overnight housing for
families experiencing temporary homelessness. Because of
the generous volunteers during previous hosting weeks, our
community has been a vital part of helping families in the
program.
We are reaching out again for volunteers during the next
hosting week of November 16 - 23. Below is the signup
genius link to the volunteer positions available. Please select
the volunteer slot(s) you wish to fill and click submit at the
bottom of the page. Please note: Hope Lutheran Church
will be the hosting site -- all volunteer duties take place at
Hope unless otherwise noted. For those signing up as
dinner host, a menu will be provided. You will receive a
confirmation email from Co-Volunteer Coordinator Nancy
Stevenson which will include the volunteer date and time
you were awarded, other volunteers that will be working
with you on that date, and information regarding the
families we are hosting. Thank you for your support!
www.SignUpGenius.com/go/4090A4FABAB2DA75-fmfnov1
We fulfill the commandment to love our
neighbor when we exercise good stewardship—joyfully sharing our gifts of life,
abilities, and resources to meet our neighbor’s
need.
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.

Faith Formation
What are families saying about our new Family Formation
ministry? "Our lessons are going well! We had a good
morning at church today too. Our kids were much more
attentive than usual! We really like the home lessons. With
our hectic work weeks, it’s nice to have Wednesdays free.
We've been doing our home lessons on Sunday afternoons
since church is fresh on our minds."
October Family Formation Lesson 3 teaches us about
"Vessels and Vestments". Your 3D Mass Set will bring to
life this lesson. Remind your children to bring their Holy
Mass Books to church and follow along. October memory
is:
"Your word, O Lord, be on my mind, on my lips, and in my heart."
Please contact Jennie in the Faith Formation office with
questions or helpful hints~she is here to serve your family.
