What should I wear?

We want you to feel comfortable. After all, we are thrilled that you're joining us and want you to be more focused on the service than what you're wearing. In the summertime, it's not uncommon to see people wearing sandals, shorts, and a shirt. Others prefer to still put on their "Sunday best," and that's fine too! However, we do request that shorts be of a conservative length (no “short-shorts”) and that in general, clothing be respectable and conservative.

How do I get to Saint John the Baptist?

Our parish is located at 915 Ivory Street, Seymour, WI 54165. Here is a map.

Where should I park?

We have a very large parking lot with plenty of space. In the event the parking lot is full, parking is allowed on the street.

Where do my children go?

Children can remain with you. We also have a 'baby room' that you and your child can go to in the event it is needed. During the religious education year, we also do offer a Children of God class to children Pre-K and Kindergarten age to attend during the Sunday 10:00 am Mass over in the school.

I’m not Catholic, how do I know when to sit, stand, and kneel?

There’s no need to be self-conscious about the postures and responses used during worship. Most visitors just follow the lead of our parishioners.

I’m not Catholic, is it okay for me to participate in communion?

Communion, or The Eucharist, is the most intimate expression of our faith. Catholics believe that the host is literally the body of Christ, transformed from bread by the priest presiding over the service. Most evangelicals think of Communion as symbolic, so it makes sense that they are not as strict about having the right relationship with it as Catholics and Orthodox Christians who believe it is a sacrament and the true presence of Christ. So, if you are not Catholic, we ask that you not receive communion. However, those not receiving the Body of Christ and Precious blood are invited to come forward with their hands crossed over their chests for a special blessing.

Am I expected to put money into the offering?

If you are visiting with us, we don't expect you to put money into the offering. If you consider our parish your church home, we'd love for you to prayerfully consider giving to our parish on a weekly basis. You can give by check or cash during the service, envelopes are provided to members or you can sign up for online giving here. 

I have a hearing problem, is there any special assistance?

We do have special aides to assist those who are in need. We also do have a hearing loop installed at our Church. So if you have hearing aides, you should be able to set them to work with that hearing loop to assist you better.
