Patronal feast — programme of celebrations
The main Mass at twelve; the patronal sermon will be preached by a priest from Pelplin; a fête in the afternoon.
On the Solemnity of the Nativity of St John the Baptist, 24 June, we celebrate our parish's patronal feast. It is the most important day in the parish calendar — the church has borne this dedication since 1382.
Mass times on the day of the feast: 7:00, 9:00, the solemn patronal Mass at 12:00 and the evening Mass at 18:00. The patronal sermon will be preached by Fr. Dr Andrzej Lemańczyk from Pelplin. After the main Mass, a Eucharistic procession around the church.
From three o'clock there will be a parish fête in the square by the presbytery. There will be a tombola, bouncy castles for the children, a barbecue and a café run by the ladies from Caritas. At five o'clock the “Jordan” choir will perform, and at six a band from the municipal cultural centre. The proceeds from the fête will go towards the restoration of the organ.
We are asking for prizes for the tombola — they can be brought to the parish office until Saturday. Cakes will also be welcome; ladies who can bake are asked to let Mrs Urszula know.
The patronal feast is also an opportunity for confession. Confessions will be heard throughout the day, including during the main Mass — priests from the deanery will be coming.
