Dear Friends of St. John the Baptist,
This past Wednesday, May 10, our parish held it’s last
Faith Formation meeting for children and youth before the
summer break. We enjoyed a great meal of pizza, soft drinks
and cookies, along with all the joy and laughter of bringing
the year of CCE to a close. I want to thank all the children
and young people for being such great participants every
Wednesday of the school year. Each of them helped to create
a great environment for praying and learning. They also
helped with the setting up and putting away of the tables,
chairs and learning materials used for each session. I also
want to express my thanks to parents and grandparents who
bring the children and young people and encourage them to
participate. Parents and grandparents please continue to en-
courage and support your children in the knowledge and
practice of our Catholic faith
Lastly, I’d like to thank our faith formation leaders, with-
out whom there would be no CCE program. Their love for
the children and young people of our parish expresses itself
in the many sacrifices made to prepare the Wednesday ses-
sions and to give so willingly of their time and energy. On
behalf of St. John the Baptist, we give thanks to you, our Faith
Formation Leaders, and say, “Well Done, Good and Faithful
Servants!”
Sincerely in Christ,
Fr. David
