Landeck Foresters Meeting

Remember, our meeting is at the “Landeck Forester’s

Hall” at 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 26th.

Thank You

◊ Thank you to everyone that helped with our adult

senior luncheon on June 15th. It was a wonderful

day filled with laughter and conversation. Thank

you to Dave and Shelly Kroeger and their “A-

Team” they did an outstanding job organizing this

great event. Our day was highlighted with our

very own Paul Illig as the master of ceremony.

We were extremely grateful to Doc and Dorothy

Miller for their hospitality in the use of the Depot.

It was a wonderful day and it was a reminder that

we are blessed to be part of Landeck.

◊ Thank you to everyone who helped with the

Church basement clean up. About 20 adults and

youth came to help, the basement was completely

cleaned in record time. We will all be able to

enjoy our clean air conditioned basement today

for the feast of Saint John the Baptist with coffee

and donuts.

Updates

As you can see our shelter house is being

constructed. We thank Joe Youngpeter and his

family for this great gift in memory of Mark

Youngpeter. Please feel free to come and see the

great work that Keith and Kenny Rahrig are

doing. In addition, we are grateful for the

preparation work of clearing stones and digging

for electric work done by Blake Fischbach, Doc

Miller, Reece and Nyah Miller and all the

professional electric work done by Larry Kroeger

and Ed Paxton.

We have been in touch with the engineer many

times in the last month. We were hoping to get

started on the exterior of our Church by June but

we have had some delays because the companies

that have bid on the project, have now requested

to review all the paperwork from the original roof

company.

Welcome Father Andrew Wellman

We welcome Father Andrew Wellman today, as he

celebrates his first Mass here at Landeck Saint John the

Baptist at our 8:30 a.m. Mass. Since it is also the feastday

of Saint John the Baptist, we will have donuts and coffee

after Mass to celebrate our patron and to give people a

chance to speak with Father Andrew. Our youth will be

giving out Father Andrew remembrance cards, after

Mass, as a reminder to please pray for him as he continues

his ministry of loving God and serving others.

New 5:30 p.m. Mass

All are welcome to our new 5:30 p.m. Mass every

Sunday. As you have read in the bulletin and heard from

many people we are starting a new Mass with

contemporary music and a more thematic approach to

homilies. Please come and “See.”

Saint John the Baptist Prayer

O God, You raised up St. John the Baptist to

prepare a perfect people for Christ. Fill Your

people with the joy of possessing His grace,

and direct the minds of all the faithful in the

way of peace and salvation.

Grant that as St. John was martyred for truth

and justice, so we may energetically profess

our Faith in You, and lead others to the Way,

the Truth, and Eternal Life. Amen.

We welcome you to join us today, June 24th from 1:00

p.m. until 3:00 p.m. at the Delphos K of C, as we bid a

fond farewell to Fr. Johnson. Father Johnson will be

returning to India to spend more time with his family,

specifically his mother. Father Johnson has made quite

an impact on so many lives, young and old, during his

4 years here. Come celebrate all the memories and

stories that he has been a part of and give your best

wishes to a man that gave so much to the parishes he

supported. We want to wish all the best to Father

Johnson. MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS!!
