Catechetical Sunday
We served breakfast/brunch (to include omelets, bagels, muffins, juice and coffee) to St. John’s religious education instructors and staff on Sunday 9/18 between 8:30AM and 12:30PM at the council home. We served approximately 20 adults and children including Monsignors Cramblitt and Woy. I would like to give special thanks to Theresa Konitzer for coordinating this event and Brother Knights Jim Schmidt, Chuck Bogdanowicz (our worthy omelet chef) , Tom Zaegel and Bob Renshaw as well as Marilyn Donohue for their help and support.

Ministry Fair
LGVC and the Knights’ Ladies provided an attractive table top display at the SJE Ministry Fair on Saturday 9/24 and Sunday 9/25. The display was staffed by various participants before/after after all masses. Appropriate marketing materials and Form 100’s were provided at our table. State car raffle tickets were also sold outside the church which gave us some additional exposure. It was a great opportunity to show our unity and all the things that we do for the St. John’s community.
Thanks to all who participated in this important parish event!!!!

5th Sunday Mass
LGVC will have our traditional 5th Sunday Mass at 9AM on Sunday October 30.. We will gather in the Narthex before Mass and sit as a group in reserved seating on the lector's side of the altar in front of the statue of Mary. We will also solicit volunteers to present the offertory gifts. Please wear you name tags and dress appropriately (with something green). Buffet breakfast will be served at the Council Home after mass. Please feel free to invite family members, friends and fellow parishioners. This is a great opportunity to display our charity, fraternity, unity and parish support. We had an excellent turn-out in July – let’s continue the momentum.
