PCCW News: A big thank you to all who helped in any way with the pie and ice cream sales during the band concerts. Again this year, we had so many beautiful pies, and we received many positive comments from those attending the concerts. $1,000 from the pie proceeds was given to the students attending World Youth Day in Poland. A grand total for the pie sales will be announced at the September 12th PCCW meeting.
For Your Information: The Feast of the Assumption (Aug. 15th) is not a Holy Day of obligation this year being that it falls on a Monday. However, you’re still very welcome to come to the 7:00am Mass that morning in honor of our Blessed Mother.
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)

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is beginning on September 8th, 2016 with full entrance into the church occurring at Easter of 2017. RCIA is the process whereby a person learns about the beautiful Catholic faith that we sometimes take for granted. Please pick up a brochure at the entrance of the church if you or someone you know is interested in becoming Catholic or if you just want to deepen your understanding of the faith. This will be an excellent way to grow closer to God by learning about Catholicism and how it promotes heroic goodness! For more information, contact Dcn. Jeff Austin at 715-676-3186 or Jane Gerend at 715-387-2019.
We continue to collect stamps for the Schoenstatt Father Seminarians. There is a container in the back of church for the collection of any cancelled stamps that will be turned in for money for the seminarians. This money goes towards the cost of seminary for these men. Please no presorted or bulk mail stamps as these have no value.
