18. Recap and Look Ahead (Easter, 4/4/21)
We began our St. John the Baptist Patron Saint series over
four months ago as the season of Advent opened. This year
we are preparing for our One Hundredth Parish Anniversary,
culminating in June, 2022. We call on our patron saint to
guide our parish family and are invited to use these months
to learn more about St. John the Baptist.
Each week we have taken a small section of Sacred Scripture
and perhaps have discovered more about St. John than we
might have taken for granted. The past seventeen (17)
installments are on the parish website under “100th Anniversary.”
Part of our Jubilee Year will be a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in the steps of Jesus and John the Baptist.
Both Jesus and John lived their entire lives in this small part of the world! We depart on March 28,
2022. The pilgrimage includes Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Nazareth, the Sea of Galilee, Mount Tabor
(Transfiguration).
We will also visit the sites associated with John the Baptist:
Ein Kerem: In the “hill country of Judea,” which is the traditional site of the birth of St. John the
Baptist and the Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth
Monastery of St. John the Baptist: an ancient site that venerates the hidden years of St. John’s
childhood.
The Judean Wilderness: Just west of Jerusalem on the way down to the city of Jericho, where John
spent the years of his ministry.
Baptism Site: The most ancient site is just north of the Dead Sea on the Jordanian side of the River
Jordan.
The Church of St. John the Baptist, Madaba, Jordan: Shrine church nearby the baptism site and
north of Machaerus.
The Fortress of Machaerus: Built by King Herod the Great and later the palace of Herod Antipas
who executed St. John. The “lower town” is where John was imprisoned and executed.
The pilgrimage begins in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (we fly into Amman, Jordan), and we cross
the frontier into the State of Israel at Eilat. We will stay on the Sea of Galilee and in Jerusalem as well.
We return to JFK from Ben Gurion Airport in TelAviv.
The pilgrimage is a year away and all are welcome. Please check out the full itinerary on the parish
website, and feel free to email Fr. Frank with any questions. (Father Frank has led many pilgrimages to
the Holy Land, and visited eighteen times over the past years.)
St. John the Baptist, pray for us!

Happy Easter 2021!
To the Parish Family Members of
St. John the Baptist
Blessings and peace on this Easter Sunday! The
Risen Lord greets his disciples with “Peace be with you!” and
promises his new life after he endured the cross. We, too,
have endured so much this past year.
Thank you for your support of our parish community during
this difficult time of pandemic. We hope that you and your
loved ones have been able to be vaccinated, and that we can
return to “normal” soon.
With our prayers and Easter wishes.
Fr. Frank, Pastor
Fr. James, Associate Pastor
Msgr. Bennett, Weekend Assistant
And the Parish Pastoral Staff

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!
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 enroll-
ment forms in the parish office, or you can sign up online at www.faithdirect.net by
using our church code, NY67.
