Welcome Love Begins Here Participants
This week we welcome back the “Love Begins Here” mission group sponsored by the Diocese of Madison. This year approximately 90 high school students will arrive on Monday afternoon to spend the week at St. John the Baptist in Montello. On Tuesday through Thursday, they will venture out into our communities doing various service projects for those in need of help, returning each evening to St. John the Baptist for prayer and recreational activities. After their wrap up session, they will depart at noon on Friday. Please remember the LBH students and their chaperones in your prayers that they may have a successful and enriching week.
Please note that due to the LBH students here this week, all rooms at St. John the Baptist are unavailable this week. Masses will be held in the church on Wednesday and Friday and the parish office will be open for business as usual. In addition we will not have fellowship following Mass on Thursday or Friday this week.
St . John the Baptist Harvest Celebration
Saturday, October 13th
Please be sure to save Saturday October 13th for our St. John the Baptist Harvest Celebration. This event will feature a delicious homemade baked chicken dinner, basket raffles, 50/50 raffles and our Deal or No Deal Raffle. The evening will be a great time to celebrate all of the beauty of the autumn season.
In the near future, we will be calling upon you to help with the basket raffles. Our goal is to create 15 to 20 baskets featuring good quality items that we can raffle off at the celebration. Look for a list of the items we will need for the baskets in next weekend’s bulletin. We also welcome cash donations which will enable us to purchases items for the baskets. These cash donations can be placed in the offering baskets in an envelope marked “Basket Raffle Donation.”

James 5/13-15: “Is anyone among you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone in good spirits? He should sing praise. Is anyone among you sick? He should summon the priests of the church, and they should pray over him and anoint with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will save the sick person, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven.” Please note, if you or your loved one is sick in your family give a call to the parish office at (608)297-7423 or Fr. Paulraj to have a visit for a blessing.
Thank you
