From Father Michael's Desk
Fr. Michael's Catholic Schools Week Message
During Catholic Schools Week we renew our efforts as a Catholic community to continue the goal and mission of making St John’s School an exceptional, spiritual, and educational experience for our students.
I am grateful to the parishioners and friends of St John’s School who are a great support in so many ways. It affirms our strong conviction that Catholic education is of value to our Church and nation. Our collective efforts as parishioners, teachers and parents help to ensure that “the Gospel message is proclaimed, community in Christ is experienced, ser- vice to our sisters and brothers is evident and thanksgiving and worship of our God is cultivated.”
Whether it is Gospel values, academic excellence, or growth developmentally that our children participate, may our encouragement and support assist them to live out their discipleship in our Catholic tradition.
Many thanks and blessings to our teachers and staff who under the challenges during this year of pandemic, have shown a spirit and will to succeed in advancing the vital mission to the future of our young people.

Make Your Donation to St. John's Online
You can manage your giving to St. John the Baptist Parish ONLINE using a credit/debit card. It is easy and allows you to set up automatic recurring contributions. This will help your weekly offerings to continue on an uninterrupted basis when travel, illness, or other circumstances prevent you from attending Mass.
PLEASE NOTE:
If you sign up for a recurring donation, your weekly envelope mailing will be canceled (saving us the cost of these mailings is one of the many benefits of joining this program.) However, this change process submitted to our Envelope Supplier may take up to two to four months to take place. Therefore, you may still receive envelopes sent to your home for several months until the mailing cancellation has been processed.
If you are planning to use this program periodically to select Non-Recurring, Special Collections, or Specific Donations, you will still receive parish envelope packets mailed to your home. If you no longer wish to receive the Envelope Packet Mailing to your home, please call the Rectory Office at 716-873-1122 to cancel your envelopes.
To get started, click here, then select Create Profile to the right.
Simply follow the on-screen instructions to create a profile and to schedule your contributions. Any questions, please contact Debbie Popple at [email protected]
Thank you for your generous support!
