St. John the Baptist Parish Office will be closed on Good Friday, April 19, 2019.
A correction in the Catholic Life Magazine:
On page 30 of the March 2019 issue under Parish Lenten Meals it states
that St. John the Baptist, Edgar, will not have a meal on Good Friday.
St. John will have a Fish Fry every Friday of Lent including Good Friday. Sorry
for any confusion.
A change in daily Masses:
When school is closed, 8:15 am Mass will still take place. Please note that sidewalks and parking lot may not be shoveled and/or salted.
