Dear Friends of St. John the Baptist,
In an effort to respond to a number of requests of our parishioners
that they be given the opportunity to make their weekly / monthly offer-
ings online, we have been studying the possibility of making this service
available. Some of you may already be familiar with online charitable
giving. Some of you who prefer to give in the traditional way of the offer-
tory envelope may not be as familiar. Some of the reasons behind online
giving are:
1) If you are traveling or unable to attend a particular Sunday, you can
give by either bank draft or credit/debit card, and therefore, you are
still able to participate in the weekly offering.
2) Many people have now become accustomed to doing banking and bill
paying transactions online for convenience and security. They simply
prefer this over giving by traditional means (for example, writing a
check).
3) It provides the peace of mind that comes with knowing that during
the months when attendance is lower (for example, in the summer
months), the needs of the parish can still be maintained without dis-
ruption.
Therefore, beginning on May 28, 2016 the option to participate in online
giving at our parish website will be offered. It will be as simple as visiting
our St. John the Baptist website at
www.stjohnbaptistlbk.org
clicking on the ’Online Giving’ Tab and filling out the online donation
form. We hope that with your future use of online giving through our
website, that you will let us know whether or not your experience was
helpful and positive.
I also wanted to bring to your attention, my hope that you will mark
your calendar for Sunday, August 7, 2016. We hope on this day to cele-
brate the first Anniversary of the founding of our parish with a Barbe-
cue / Jamaica that I am referring to a “Barmaica”. This is a combination
of the two which I am sure will be a happy and joyful celebration that will
include live music, food, games and activities. However, I do want you to
know that I need your help and ideas in order to make this a great suc-
cess. A Planning Meeting will be held on Thursday, June 2nd at 7pm at
our parish. I hope that you will come and encourage other parishioners
to participate.
Lastly, our parish Spiritual Life Committee is working to organize and
plan a Summer Faith Fest for adults and children to take place at the
church Monday through Wednesday, June 27th through June 29th in the
evenings. Each evening will consist of spiritual and fun activities, includ-
ing a meal. Tentatively, the time is from 6pm to 8pm. A Planning Meet-
ing is scheduled for Wednesday, June 8th at 6:30pm at the parish.
I wish you a very blessed Memorial Day. If you are traveling, God bless
all travelers and bring us all safely home.
Sincerely in Christ,
Fr. David Cruz
Thousands died for my freedom.
One died for my soul.
Remembering and honoring our
fallen heroes and our Savior
this Memorial Day.
