St. John the Baptist

Breakfast with Santa has been cancelled.  Those who bought tickets will receive refunds. Thank you to our parent volunteers for their great effort to plan and coordinate the event, which had been scheduled for Dec. 3, and thank you to all of the parent-volunteers who responded to the request for help with a pledge to decorate, clean up, and provide service on the day of the event. Breakfast with Santa is a big operation, and we just weren't ready in a few key areas. We are working on planning Christmas activities during the school day, in partnership with parent volunteers, on the afternoon of Friday, Dec. 16. More on that to come.

The SJB 8th grade class is raising money to support the 8th Grade Graduation Activities. Wreaths, mini-Christmas Trees and centerpieces are being sold through the Mickman Brothers GiftItForward.com website. Please go to GiftItForward.com and place you order by December 8 using fundraising code: STJOHNMD005. Thank you for your support.

This year parishioners will be able to enter the names of those who have died in the Book of Remembrance online beginning November 1.  Starting November 1, visit our SJB website, www.sjbssparish.org, and click on Book of Remembrance.  Please enter individually the names of the deceased to be remembered.

If you cannot attend Mass, you can view the 9:00 a.m. Sunday Mass in the Church which is live streamed on Facebook at www.facebook.com/sjbcc. The 9:00 a.m. Weekday Mass will also be live streamed on Facebook.

Please note that the St. John the Baptist Parish Food Drive will be the 1st & 3rd Saturday mornings each month 9:00 a.m. to 12 noon. Drop off will be at the Lyon Center parking lot behind the church where you may safely drop bags or boxes (canned or boxed dry foods only, please.) Donations will be transported to the St. Camillus Food Bank. Cash or check donations (payable to SJB Church with “Food Drive” in the memo) are also welcome!
