January Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation
Here is one main reason people choose to be (and remain) Catholic:
Jesus founded a Church, not just a book.
Catholics believe Jesus established a visible Church, built on the apostles, with Peter as its head (Matthew 16:18). The Catholic Church traces its leadership and teaching authority directly back to them through apostolic succession.
This means the faith isn’t reinvented every generation—it’s handed on.

What are some ways I can help my family and friends love Jesus more deeply?
Practice Forgiveness —
Model forgiveness when you are wronged, and extend grace, mercy and patience in your interactions.
Be a Living Example —
People learn more from what you do than what you say. Let them see that Jesus is your top priority, especially during challenging times.
Talk about Jesus —
Make Jesus a part of everyday conversations.
Foster Godly Friendships —
Surround yourself with people who might want to strengthen their walk with Jesus.
What a wonderful Jesse Tree event at St. John Nepomucene!
Thank you to everyone who came and shared in the Jesse Tree event that was held at St. John Nepomucene on November 30th! It was a great afternoon learning about Jesus’ ancestry and hearing from some of his family too!
Thank you to everyone who made this event possible as well! It was such a great day with a lot of fellowship and great food!
Opportunity for Youth to Encounter Jesus in the Mountains
My name is Jane VandenBoogart and I am a co-founder of CLR Ministries, Inc. along with Jim VandeHey. Our mission at CLR Ministries is to inspire youth in our community by helping them grow in their personal relationship with Jesus. We achieve this mission by bringing a group of youth and young adults (high school and up) to the mountains on an eight-day retreat. Surrounded by the undeniable handiwork of God, the trip is filled with hiking, canoeing, rock climbing, daily Catholic Mass, building Christ-centered friendships, and activities geared toward growing a personal relationship with Jesus.
The 2025 retreat will take place in Wyoming at a camp near the Wyoming Catholic College which our very own Bishop David Ricken helped establish. It’s a beautiful setting in which to encounter Jesus in the mountains.
We would love to have youth/young adults from your parishes join us this year. The dates of our trip will be July 4th through July 11, 2025.
The cost per person is $1,100, which includes transportation, food, lodging, and covers the cost of the activities during the trip. There are incentives to reduce the cost – complete forms, assignments, and training on time. Also fundraising can be done by parishes to support the youth. The deadline for submitting applications is January 15, 2025.
