St. John the Baptist Preschool
Teachers and Assistants
We are looking for part time teachers and assistants for our preschool.
Flexible hours available. Please contact Gayle Mercurio, 631-929-3220.
Calling all Teens! The parishes of St. John the Baptist and St. Mark are looking for teens who would
like to help out in both parishes. We know you need service hours for many things
(Confirmation, National Honor Society, Junior National Honor Society, Scouts, col-
lege applications) and we would love for you to be involved in parish life.
Every year we need help with big projects like the Thanksgiving and Christmas
drives working with
Outreach; but we also can offer other opportunities. Young folks can be lectors, Eu-
charistic Ministers, choir members, altar servers, and ushers. You can also serve as
helpers and instructors in religious formation.
We also could use help in smaller parish projects, such as helping with facilities:
matching keys with doors at St. Mark, pruning overgrown shrubs, mulching, spring
and fall clean-ups, painting, holiday decorating, etc.
We also hope to create programs for teens to work with seniors and the needy.
We would welcome individuals or groups of friends wanting to work together.
And we hope to offer prayer and retreat opportunities, as well as social events.
If interested, please contact Dr. Jeff Pedersen at [email protected].
We look forward to serving with you!

Please consider “automated giving” as you reflect on support of our parish family!
The fruitful ministries at our parish are examples of how
many of you have answered, and continue to answer,
that call. To ensure such work can continue requires not
only gifts of time, but also of financial help. I ask you to
prayerfully consider supporting our parish with electronic
donations through Faith Direct. You can find paper enrollment forms in the parish
office, or you can sign up online at www.faithdirect.net by using our church code,
NY67.

WEEKLY COLLECTION
Sunday Collection, July 18, 2021: $ 7,582.79 (down 9.09%)
Sunday Collection, July 12, 2020: $ 8,272.50
Many are facing financial hardship, and we are deeply grateful to those
who have mailed in their envelope, dropped it in the mailbox
in the upper parking lot, or used Faith Direct.
Thank you to those who “caught up” with a full month’s donations!
Living Stewardship ~ Pillar of Formation
Sometimes, we tend to look at things with only our human understanding. The difficulties we face, may lead us to despair and doubt. We need to learn to trust in Jesus and believe that He can help us through any problem we face.
