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. Lessons are set to begin mid-September 2023.
Scheduling Coordinator for St. John Nepomucene
St. John Nepomucene is looking for an individual who would like to volunteer their time and be the Scheduling Coordinator for the various ministries we have at our parish.
This would entail scheduling the ministries on a quarterly basis and sending out emails in regards to Holy Day Masses or Masses for the holidays to find greeters, ushers, servers, Eucharistic ministers, etc.
There will be training for the software!
If you are interested or have any further questions, please contact Deacon Dave at (920) 788-9061 or via email at: dvaneperen@stjn.org.

2023 Raising Vocations Collection
Why is the Diocese starting the Raising Vocations Collection?
The Diocese of Green Bay has been blessed by the prayers and generosity of thousands of people. With the help of a beautiful, anonymous donation to the one by One campaign, our seminarians’ tuition, room and board, and the Kairos formation year expenses will be covered for five years.
This wonderful gift will allow our Diocese to shift the focus to supporting the efforts of helping more young men and women answer God’s call to a holy vocation. After months of prayerful discernment and having consulted with the Catholic Foundation team, Vocations Director, Rev. Mark C. Mleziva and Bishop David Ricken have decided that every parish in the Diocese will undertake a new campaign called the Raising Vocations Collection. This shift will help us further our Diocesan goal of calling forth and forming 30 men in seminary formation by 2025. These holy men have been formed by ministries that encourage our young people to explore their vocation.
How does your gift to the Raising Vocations Collection support Vocations?
This important collection supports ministries that help young men and women answer God’s call to a holy vocation. Some ministries that will benefit from the Raising Vocations Collection are campus ministry at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh and campus ministry at our Catholic High School campuses. They will provide support to these young men and women through retreats, spiritual direction and being part of a Catholic community when they are away from home and journeying with their peers.
Vocations Events and other information may be found at the Diocesan website at: www.gbvocations.org.
