Welcome St John the Baptist Family!
Pre-K and Kindergarten
Parents,
At your baptism you were given the gift of faith. At your child’s baptism, he or she was given the gift of faith. The gift of the Catholic faith has been passed down for generations and generations. We can and should nurture this gift given to us by God, and we should nurture the gift of faith given to our children by raising them to know, love, and serve the Lord. As parents, it is our right and duty to teach our children the Catholic faith.
Once per month, the online lesson will consist of a different element of our faith; it could be a Catholic tradition, a fact about our faith, from the Bible, from our Catholic Catechism, or a Catholic belief. All lessons will expand on that topic so that you will enjoy the beauty and richness of our Catholic faith

Amen.

Saint Joseph is a humble man chosen by God to be the earthly father of Jesus and the spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. He was a carpenter, known for his simple and loving work.

Saint Joseph accepted his calling with courage and sincerity, dedicating his life to serving his family and the community.
He is revered as the steadfast guardian of Jesus and Mary. His unwavering care ensured the safety of the Holy Family during times of great uncertainty.
