St. John The Baptist Mass & Bonfire

​

St. Anthony of Padua Piazza

Youth Ministry is sponsoring a St. John the Baptist Bonfire!


The entire parish is invited to join us on Thursday, June 25, at 7:30 PM in the piazza following the 6:45 PM Mass for an evening of prayer, fellowship, and tradition as we celebrate the Nativity of St. John the Baptist.


  • S’mores and drinks provided

  • Blessing of the fire by one of our clergy members

  • Open to all families


Take part in the beautiful tradition of lighting a bonfire on the Feast of St. John the Baptist. Celebrated just after the summer solstice—the longest day of the year—the feast reminds us of St. John’s humble words about Christ: “He must increase, but I must decrease” (John 3:30).


Families are also welcome to bring old blessed palms from Palm Sunday or broken sacramentals, such as rosaries, to be respectfully burned in the fire.
