Events
CATHOLICISM, THE SERIES
Catholicism, Father Robert Barron's epic video journey to the heart of Catholicism, airs in its entirety at Saint Jean Baptiste over ten Monday nights from January 23-March 26 at 7:00 p.m. in The Great Hall of the Saint Jean Baptiste Community Center. Often likened to Kenneth Clark's Civilisation, this DVD series explores the richness and transforming power of the Catholic faith. More than 90 people attended the first session on January 23. Watch the trailer here; experience Catholicism for yourself!
Register at the Parish Office or call 212.288.5082. Refreshments will be served.
FEEDING OUR NEIGHBORS: A CATHOLIC RESPONSE
Our parish is participating in Feeding Our Neighbors: A Catholic Response, from January 22-29. Hunger is an inescapable reality in our nation and city, and increasing numbers of people depend on emergency food assistance simply to get by. The Archdiocese of New York is sponsoring this effort to help area food pantries replenish their supplies. Donations of food staples and other non-perishable food items from Saint Jean's will be given to the Yorkville Common Pantry, with whom we partner. There is a collection box near Saint Joseph's Altar for this purpose.
Music at Saint Jean Baptiste
The most important aspect of the music ministry at the Church of Saint Jean Baptiste is its focus on the celebration of the liturgy. In the Eucharistic celebration, we strive to sing as one voice with the assistance of choirs, cantors, organist, and instrumentalists.
In addition, the Music Under the Dome series features concerts of choral, organ, and instrumental programs. Visit Music Under the Dome to preview upcoming events.
