St. John's is eager to work with our engaged couples so that their wedding day is the happiest day of their lives. Please contact the rectory to set up an appointment with Father Wally to book you special day BEFORE you book your reception, to be sure that the date that you desire is available. Weddings are celebrated on Friday Evenings at 5:30 p.m. or Saturdays from 11:00 a.m. through 2:00 p.m. in the afternoon, and again at 5:30 p.m. Saturday Evenings. Weddings can also be celebrated on Sunday afternoons at 2:00 p.m. or 3:00 p.m. The sacrament of Baptism is celebrated once each month on Sunday. The Thursday evening before the baptism there is an instruction class held in the Chapel at 7:00 p.m. for parents and sponsors. Please call the rectory to schedule an appointment to meet with Fr. Wally or Deacon Brendan to arrange for your child's baptism. A child must have at least one sponsor and that person must be a worshiping Catholic who has received the Sacrament of Confirmation. If the child has two sponsors, one must be a man and one a woman, thus a Godmother and a Godfather. If both sponsors are Catholic, the same requirements for eligibility for one sponsor hold for two. However, one sponsor may be a non-catholic christian, and they will be recorded as a Christian Witness. The Christian Witness must be a Christian and may not be non-Christian. Have you thought about becomming a Lector, Eucharistic Minister, Altar Server, Greeter or Usher? We need you!! Please let Father Wally or Deacon Brendan know you are interested. You will be thoroughly guided and prepared before serving our community in any of these capacities. The Pilot is begining a subscription promotion through which anyone renewing or ordering a subscription can have $5.00 of the Subscription fee sent to the Catholic School of their choice. There are subscription order forms at the doors of the church. |
