Interested in becoming Catholic or learning more about the Catholic faith?

The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) (formerly known as RCIA) is the process by which the Catholic Church welcomes new members into its midst or completes the process of Christian initiation. This process involves receiving 1 or all 3 sacraments of initiation which include Baptism, Holy Eucharist and Confirmation.

During the process of initiation, a person grows in knowledge of the teachings of the Catholic Church, explores the meaning of the Scriptures for daily life, develops friendships with members of the parish community, learns to pray and worship in the Catholic tradition and discovers the joy of serving others.

If you are interested in learning more about this process or the Catholic faith, please contact the parish office at (920) 788-9061 and ask for Deacon Dave Van Eperen and he will provide you with more more information. You may also email him at: dvaneperen@stjn.org. Lessons are set to begin around the end-of-September 2025.

Opportunity for Youth to Encounter Jesus in the Mountains

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.
