St. John the Baptist Catholic Church

Advent Fasting Sign Up

Our mission is to form a community of Spirit-filled, missionary disciples of Jesus. This Advent, we want to unite the prayer and fasting of our parishioners for the intention of this mission. In order to do this, we are inviting everyone to sign up for an extra day of fasting during this season of Advent to pray for the advancement of this mission in specific ways at the various levels in our local Church:

• At a diocesan level, for wisdom and protection of Bishop Boyea as he leads our diocese on mission;
• At a parish level, for the transformation of our parish into a community of Spirit-filled, missionary disciples of Jesus;
• At an individual level, for leaders to be raised up in the Church, particularly for the young men and women in our parish discerning a priestly and religious vocation.

Please help us to pray for these intentions by committing to fast. We want to make sure every day is covered before filling second and third spots, if possible. Please use this link to sign up. Thank you!
