You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but I have been sent before him. He who has the bride is the bridegroom; the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom s voice; therefore this joy of mine is now full. He must increase, but I must decrease. (John the Baptist; John 3:27-30) Sacrament of Reconciliation Saturday: 4:00-5:00pm (Or by appointment) Office Hours Monday-Friday 9:00am 2:00pm

A few volunteers are needed to help prepare and serve the meal. Contact Maria Rogers at or her at mariaalviria@me.com if you are able to help.

Join the Diocese of Juneau Young Adults Facebook group, or Miguel.Rohrbacher92@gmail.com. All are welcome! Family Promise Juneau - News and Events! Family Promise Volunteers Needed! July 8-15 Our final week of hosting Family Promise for this year will take place July There are many wonderful ways to volunteer with various tasks during that week! Volunteers are needed to prepare meals, set up the beds on Sunday night before the arrival of the families, take down after the families leave, clean the bedding, and act as hosts each day to stay with the families for meals and overnight. Hosting takes place in shifts - there is a dinner shift, an evening shift, and an overnight shift each day. At least two volunteers are needed per shift. We are especially lucky to have a visiting Family Promise intern who will be filling one spot on the overnight shift each night. Some shifts allow more opportunity to interact with the family, while others have little to no interaction. There is truly something for everyone so please consider giving of your time! We welcome volunteers of all ages and abilities! This is a unique opportunity to serve our community as an individual or a family. All volunteers attend a short training to prepare for the week and to know what to expect. For more information and to sign up, please contact: Theresa Zimmerman at or Theresa.zimmerman@gmail.com, or Becca Antonoplos at (410) or rantonoplos@gmail.com.

Why do we, as a Catholic community in the Church, celebrate the birthday of John the Baptist? Because John surpasses all the prophets, of whom he is the last (CCC:523; Lk 1:76; cf. 7:26; Mt 11:13).
