ARRANGING BAPTISM Baptism First (Spanish) and Last (English) Sundays each month. Call Parish Center to arrange. Before date is confirmed, parents must have/obtain:
Registration in SJB Parish: Family from another parish must obtain written permission from “home” parish for Baptism at SJB. Certificate of Eligibility to Serve as Sponsor: Each Catholic Sponsor (1 required; 2 preferred) must obtain Certificate of Eligibility from “home” parish. Parishes generally do not issue certificates to persons not already registered nor to persons who left the parish more than 6 months previously.
Letter from Pastor for Christian Witness: One baptized non-Catholic may serve as a Christian Witness and must present Letter of Good Standing from current Christian pastor. A Catholic not eligible to Sponsor may not be Christian Witness.
ARRANGING MARRIAGE
Wedding Planning begins with engaged couple’s meeting a parish priest here at least six (6) months before desired wedding date. Please do not make financial commitments before confirming church date/time.
If a member of the couple was previously married, a Declaration of Nullity (Annulment) of the prior marriage may be necessary. Please contact parish priest for detailed information.
Marriage Convalidation Couples in a civil or non-Catholic religious union without our Church’s explicit permission are not in a valid Catholic marriage. They cannot receive other sacraments or serve as Catholic Sponsors for Baptism and Confirmation. This situation often is easily remedied by “convalidation”, a simple ceremony popularly called “getting a marriage blessed”. Call Parish Center to arrange.

SAVE THE DATE in 2018. The Cross and the Light is coming to St. John Bosco. Thurs., 3/8:10 AM and 7PM, Fri., 3/9:10 AM & 7 PM, and Sat., 3/10: 1 PM and 7PM! It’s not just a show;
It is an intentional encounter event. Religious inspiration comes in many forms. Kelly Garver Nieto’s hit her like a ton of Babylon bricks while she was attending her first-ever Good Friday service in 2000. It was while praying the Stations of the Cross, which uses 14 sequential images to depict the crucifixion of Jesus, that the former nonbeliever
experienced what she calls a “life-changing vision.” “I looked at the altar and saw all the details of this grand theatrical production,” the entertainer and former Miss Michigan remembers. “And I heard God say, ‘This is why you are here.’ I knew in my soul that this would
become my life’s mission.” Please like The Cross and the Light on Facebook!

We are going to celebrate the birthday of Mary, the Blessed Mother.
SJB Parishioners & Friends are invited to come together for a joyous birthday party for Mary, the Mother of God, on Fri., 9/8
after morning Mass. Birthday cupcakes will be served! We don't know much about the
Blessed Mother's birth. We don't find anything about her young life or her parents in Scripture - but we do know
that it was miraculous, because she was conceived without sin. She had to be, because she was going to be the Mother of God! What would you give the Blessed Mother on her birthday? How would you wrap it? Can you see her expression when she opens it? Do you hear
her graciously thanking you, see her face lighting up when she sees it? And how about that hug she gives you, whispering "I love you!" in your ear? How can you honor your Heavenly Mother on her birthday? Have you spent
some time with Mary lately?
For information, please contact the SJB TCTL Hotline 267-803-9930 or go to
