Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, “What are you looking for?”
They said to him, “Rabbi”—which translated means Teacher—“where are you staying?”
He said to them, “Come, and you will see.” - Jn 1:38-39a

Dear Parishioners,
Living, as we are, under the Cloud of COVID, we probably owe it to ourselves and to one another to point out such silver linings as do appear where and when they pop up. Such happened for me last Monday night. For the past ten years, I’ve been part of a book club that meets on the second Monday of the month from 7:00 to 8:30/9:00 at the Islamic Resource Center on South 27th Street in Milwaukee. The membership has fluctuated wildly over the years – we’ve had as many as 25 participants on some occasions and as few as three on a couple. Sometimes, the weather is the problem; sometimes, it’s the book. READ FR. PHIL'S FULL MESSAGE

Prayer is essential in the protection of human life. Join us at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church for a Regional Pro-Life Mass on January 22 at noon.
God of all life, Help us to appreciate the great gift that is human life formed in your image, a reflection of your holiness. Help us to recognize you in all whom you have created: children not yet born, families affected by poverty and war, people of different abilities, people from other lands, and all who are victims of hatred and racism. Help us to bear witness to the dignity of all whom you have created, regardless of stage of life, or wealth, or ability, or color, or creed, for every person is fully equal in your loving eyes. Share with us your holy knowledge that we are all your children, each bestowed with inherent dignity. May your justice reign forever! Amen. - USCCB

RA 12 - August 14-15, 2021
Are you a runner? A biker? A wanna-be runner or biker? Looking for something to motivate a healthy 2021? Or maybe your style is more along the lines of cheering and celebrating (beer garden and pancake breakfast included)? Are you a bleeding heart who loves a good cause and desires more inclusivity? St John the Baptist Church and School community have teams started for the RA 12 happening August 14/15. Yes, RA 12 stands for Road America and 12 hours! It’s an overnight adventure at Road America! Come camp, run, bike, listen to music, drink beer, cheer, eat pancakes, have a blast … all while being healthy and supporting those with differing abilities! CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE

Middle School years can be challenging as students begin to transition away from the elementary years of schooling. St. John the Baptist's middle school works to prepare students for high school and beyond. Our dedicated and caring core group of middle school teachers work hard to help students transition into being more responsible and to become more independent learners. Students are blessed with the opportunity to participate in Exploratory Classes such as, Culinary Arts or STEM focused classes. These classes are intended to gauge their interests as they prepare for their high school years. Our middle school offers both Pre-Algebra and Algebra, best meeting students where they are at, preparing them for their high school years. Students have many opportunities to model being a "Disciple of Christ" since religion is woven into all subject areas and a variety of service projects take place annually. Students learn how to complete a formal research paper and become comfortable with public speaking. If you or anyone you know is interested in learning more about our middle school program, please contact the school's office at (920) 893-5961.
