We the parishioners of St. John the Baptist,
brothers and sisters in Christ, accept as our mission:
to know our faith and share it with others, to continue to grow spiritually with respect for the sacraments, to celebrate the liturgy and the Holy Eucharist as the center of our Christian life, to live by truth and love, to serve those in need, to teach by example, and thereby strengthen and inspire our Parish family in accordance with the Roman Catholic Church.
Reminder
Masses will be at the Chapel of St. John Nepomucene. Last Mass there will be on November 29.

RESPECT LIFE CORNER - ASSISTED SUICIDE 6 PART SERIES
Part 2: Illinois Residents Deserve Excellent Pain Management, Not Assisted Suicide
Illinois has excellent, modern palliative care programs to alleviate suffering - no one’s pain should be unmanageable in our state. Hospice care is paid for by Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance. We deserve the best in pain management and quality care, not suicide drugs. Tell your state legislators to Vote NO on SB 3499 - assisted suicide. Visit www.ilcatholic.org for additional information and resources.
