Family Rosary
This Wednesday, October 27th at 5:30PM, there will be a "Family Rosary" at Saint John the Baptist Catholic Church. We have so much and so many people to pray for! We encourage all families to come together for this brief time and pray the Most Holy Rosary together for our church parish, our families and our country. Immediately afterwards at 6:00PM, we invite our families to the cafeteria to meet with the three authors of the newly released book,
Shreveport Martyrs of 1873: The Surest Path to Heaven. There will be a nice reception with wonderful food and a chance to purchase an autographed copy of this book which includes the story of our first priest, Father Francois LeVezouet. We encourage all families to attend!

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
Pope Benedict XVI has said "In a world where there is so much noise, so much bewilderment, there is a need for silent adoration of Jesus concealed in the Host."
Adoration at St. John's will begin September 8th. Just One Hour Can Change Our World! Please consider giving an hour each week to Our Lord in Adoration. We need at least two individuals for each time slot. If you prefer to be an alternate, please sign and give your phone number and hours available.
If you have questions, contact Mary Beth Tarver or the church office. -
