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

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

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults 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 becoming Catholic or learning more about the Catholic faith, please contact the parish office at (920) 788-9061 and ask for Deacon Bruce Corey and he will provide you with more more information. Lessons are set to begin the second week of September 2022.

Thank You for Your Support of the Seminarian Collection

Thank You for Your Support of the Seminarian Collection

Over the past seventeen years, the Seminarian Collection has supported 38 men in their formation to the priesthood.  Thank you for your prayers and financial support that helped make this collection a success!

Our diocese has been blessed by a generous anonymous gift to the One by One Campaign.  This gift will cover the costs of our seminarians’ tuition, room and board, as well as the Kairos formation house for the next five years.  As a result of this generosity, the Seminarian Collection has been paused. 

Please continue to pray for our seminarians and for an increase in vocations.  If you know a man that would make a great priest, please tell him and ask him to be open to God’s call.   To learn more about how we are supporting ministries that are raising vocations, please visit www.catholicfoundationgb.org/vocations.

The 2023 Liturgical Calendar is now available for scheduling of Mass Intentions!

The 2023 Liturgical Calendar is now available for scheduling of Mass Intentions!

What does it mean to have a Mass “offered” for someone?

An individual may request that a Mass be offered for several reasons, for example: in thanksgiving, for the intentions of another person (such as on a birthday or anniversary), or as is most common, for the repose of the sole of someone who has passed away.

The number of Masses a person may request for a loved one will depend on when they passed away, please see below: 

¨ Within one year of death: Five (5) Masses, two of which can be a weekend Mass

¨ Two years or more after death: Three (3) Masses, one of which can be a weekend Mass

 Mass intentions are $10 a piece and you may pay either by  cash or check (made payable to St. John Parish). Please stop in at the parish office or call the office at (920) 788-9061. Thank you.
