We pray for God’s blessings on
our parish family
as we begin our 100th Year!
This weekend we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord as the
Christmas season comes to an end. Our patron saint, John the
Baptist, baptizes Jesus in the Jordan, and we are all reminded of
the power of our baptism!
There were two baptisms one hundred years ago in 1912:
William Wallock on July 14, 1912
Walter Schmid on December 8, 1912.
The baptisms were performed by Father John
Naab In 1912, Fr. Naab was sent to establish
the parish of Saints Peter and Paul in
Manorville as its first pastor. Also in 1912 we
began as a “mission” of Saints Peter and Paul.
(Our parish remained a “mission” until 1922.)
Please pray for the many children and adults baptized over
these past 100 years!
You can share baptism photos — just send them to Fr. Frank!

THANK YOU for turning our Parish Hall into a distribution center for the poor and needy in our area. You have shared
the joy of this Christmas season. Our parish is blessed with the
generosity of those who provided 220 gifts, and 36 meals!
Thank you for all you did in 2021!
We are grateful to all of you who donated to, or worked on the Back-to School drive, Thanksgiving Baskets, or Giving
Tree Programs, and for all of you who volunteer on Tuesdays and Thursday in the Outreach Office. This year with Covid
19 becoming part of our lives you have REALLY stepped up with food donations insuring that anyone that came to us
for food was able to leave with enough food to feed their family.
The January meetings
are cancelled.
Stay safe!

Centennial Jubilee Journal
In addition to our liturgical and social celebrations, prayer experi-
ences, and even a pilgrimage, the parish will create a Centennial
Jubilee Journal to chronicle parish history and to highlight the
various ministries of the parish – to “tell the parish story.” In the
Journal we hope to include photographs and reminiscences, as
well as stories of the many parish “heroes” that played a part in
its rich history. The Journal will also serve as the major fundraiser
for the Jubilee Year.
We will be looking for volunteers to help with creating the Jour-
nal. We will need committee members to collect photographs
and write and edit the history portion, to help with layout and
design, to solicit sponsorship ads from our vendors, local busi-
nesses, and organizations, and to help coordinate the collection
of parishioner sponsorship ads.

volunteer forms available in the gather-

will be in touch with you. We look for-
ward to the exciting year ahead and we
hope the Journal will be a treasured
