Evenings of Recollection: Evenings of Recollection will begin again on Thurs. Sept. 1st from 6:30-8:00pm. Meditations will center on the “Year of Mercy”. The Corporal Works of Mercy is the theme for this night. After exposing the Blessed Sacrament a half hour meditation will be given. After that there will be time for silent adoration and confession. Benediction will close the evening. These evenings will continue to be scheduled for the first Thursday of each month through May (with the exception of January which will be the third Thursday) alternating between St. John’s and Christ the King. 

Deo Gratias for our parish picnic: We thank God for the beautiful weather that made our 5th annual parish picnic the best one yet! Great food, selfless service with a smile, fun games for the kids, and wonderful music made for an unforgettable afternoon. There are too many generous volunteers to name here, but God knows who you are and He will reward you in the best way. Thank God for such a remarkable day – we’re a better parish for having spent that time together! 

MERIT, (Marshfield’s Exceptional Religious Instruction Team), a specialized religious education program, is being offered to students with cognitive disabilities who struggle with the inclusive challenges of standard programs offered by their parishes. This class will offer individualized instruction through the use of art, storytelling, song and fellowship. A multisensory approach is used to create an environment that is exciting and fun to learn in. Class format and structure are based on the cognitive levels, needs, and individual abilities of the students enrolled. Lessons are based on Bible stories, events from the church year and living our Catholic faith. Classes meet on Monday evenings beginning in October. Cost is $20 if registered by September 10th, 2016. For further information contact :Vivian Gamble (715-659-5555) or Krisan Williams (715-387-2119). 

Matthew, the King and His Kingdom, by Jeff Cavins and Ascension Press, will be this fall and winter's bible study.
 
This 24-week course has been very well received and a life changer for many of those who have taken it before.

The study will begin on September 11th, 2016 and be held from 8:15am-10:30am. It should complete by the end of April with time off at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Cost of materials (study binder) will be $30.00. You will need a bible (Revised Standard Version-Catholic Edition is recommended.) A Catechism of the Catholic Faith is highly recommended. (Both available in the office for $15 and $9 or possibly at St. Vincent de Paul. For questions, call Judy Garfield, 715-305-2261.

The year of mercy is here! Every Wednesday from 3:00pm-3:30pm the Divine Mercy Chaplet and the Rosary are recited at Hwy. 97 & E, (across from Wal-Mart) where the white crosses are. Please come, pray and support life, the unborn babies and make a difference! 

The World Apostolate of Fatima’s Centennial U.S. Tour for Peace is underway and coming to our parish! The historic tour, marking the 100th Anniversary of the apparitions of Our Lady at Fatima, will feature the world-famous International Pilgrim Virgin Statue, traveling worldwide for nearly 70 years. St. John the Baptist is hosting the tour on Sept. 21st-22nd from noon until noon. It will be an extraordinary occasion of healing, hope and grace. Please join us to hear the story of Fatima and venerate this beautiful statue that set out from Fatima in 1947 to bring the graces of Fatima to all who might not ever be able to make a pilgrimage to Fatima, Portugal. We bring the pilgrimage to you. Hundreds of favors and graces, including cures, and countless conversions are associated with the image. The presence of this special Statue (sculpted by Jose Thedim in 1947, based on Sr. Lucia’s description of her encounters with Our Lady) is a great gift to our community. Contact Caren Alsides at 715-897-1900 for more information. (www.fatimatourforpeace.com)
