Greeters are needed for Saturday and Sunday Masses. Visitors genuinely appreciate a warm greeting and the offer of information, and this is an important but easy way to help grow the SJV family and Christ's kingdom.
If you would like to serve in this manner, the task is simple and training is brief. Put a smile on someone's face as you offer them a welcome to worship! Contact Jen Petri for info or to sign up, at iwu22@msn.com.
| |  |
SJV needs you during Sunday Mass, serving on a team of video operators. The main requirement is comfort with using a computer. There will be training and a rotation! Please contact Darrel Petri at 309-826-1429. | |
Teachers Needed! The future of our Catholic Church could be in your hands! Our children are our future! While the parents have the role of the first teachers of their children , our Religious Education program at St John Vianney strives to support parents in their efforts to educate their children. If you are a confirmed Catholic age 18 and above, you can be a teacher. If you think you don’t know enough… even better! YOU LEARN THROUGH TEACHING! Our program is theme-based, in that each month we teach a different aspect of the Catholic faith. And we have grade level books for the teachers and students to use. Please see Cathy Malczynski if you’re interested in the opportunity to grow our entire Catholic Church! | | |

A Message from Champion Shrine's
Shepherd Project
Last year May - October, thousands joined the National Shrine as we prayed for each Bishop by name across the U.S. through the Shepherd Project. Beginning today, we embark on this season of prayer again, and You are invited to join us!
We will begin by praying for our Bishops in Wisconsin (where the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion is located) and continue across the United States and U.S. territories until each Bishop and his Diocese is prayed for. We have great confidence that our Blessed Mother will intercede for us and that our Lord hears our prayers for our Nation's Shepherds.
On the grounds of the National Shrine, a candle will be lit for our Shepherds in the Apparition Oratory and each day's Bishop will be prayed for during daily Mass at 11:00 a.m.
Note: Bishop Olson will be prayed for on September 13 and Bishop Lopes will be prayed for on October 29.

Important: Building Use Request Form Needed for Most Events
Thinking about having an event, large or small, at SJV? With limited space and a growing parish, calendaring of events must be handled carefully, and often there is a need to prioritize and thus adjust dates, times, and/or rooms used. Read the guidelines in the graphic to the left.
Find the form here or on the SJV website (Events tab).
Additional helpful information about Events and Communication at SJV: As a growing parish, we no longer can count on everyone knowing about every event or meeting by word of mouth -- it's vital for the success of these occasions that the planner advise the keeper of the calendar and the one who creates bulletins and newsletters, Jen Petri, of all events/meetings and the details of what/when/where. This can be accomplished by completing and submitting your building use request form, rather than other ways like adding a comment at announcement time in Mass. Jen will be glad to create or receive from you a graphic, make signs or flyers, and share on social media, if appropriate. Just ask her and give her the details. Again, if in doubt, fill it out -- the building use request form is your friend!
Additionally, some might wonder why we don't advertise particular events beyond the church. We do not have a kitchen set up for preparing food, so we don't have a permit for that. Private events like the Fish Fry Suppers are, thus, for us and our families. Please respect that limitation and understand our approach to advertising. Any questions can be directed to Jen at iwu22@msn.com. Thank you!
