Celebrating The Feast of St. John the Baptist • 2021

On June 24 the Church of St. John the Baptist celebrated its patronal feast with a majestic liturgy at 5:15 p.m. In his homily Fr. Michael spoke of John the Baptizer, the last of the prophets, as one who sought to right the wrongs of his day. He then compared it to the establishment of this church in 1840 by German immigrants who came to the United States for a better life and to right the wrongs which they had experienced. 181 years later this church continues its focus on the sacramental life, its welcoming of immigrants, and its witness to the values which Jesus taught.
