From Father Michael's Desk
Congratulations and Welcome Deacon Andrew Mical
Congratulations and our prayers go out to Deacon Andrew Mical, our parishioner who was ordained to the Sacred Order of Deacon by Bishop Michael Fisher at St. Joseph Cathedral on Saturday, May 21. As he serves Christ and the people of God as minister of word, of altar, and of charity, our prayer is that the “Holy Spirit strengthen him to carry out faithfully the work of the ministry.” We are please to announce that Deacon Andrew has been assigned to our parish. His Charity Ministry will be with Teams of Our Lady, an international lay movement in the Catholic Church, designed to enrich marriage spirituality and make good marriages better.
Welcome to St. John the Baptist Parish!

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!
