St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church of Spencerport will celebrate 150 years of serving the community next year.
Accordingl, Reverend John Loncle, the current Pastor, called a meeting that was held on June 14 for any parishioners interested in planning activities to recognize this special occasion. That meeting was essentialy a brain storming session where individuals could make suggestions for specific events. Most ideas were accepted with the caveat that the suggester had to further explore and develop their idea. Several committees grew out of that meeting.
A second meeting was held on October 6 at which progress on some of the events was presented and discussed. The group agreed that a series of events throughout 2017 was preferred rather than one big celebration. Among those events will be a banquet, special liturgical services, a picnic, a musical presentation and a pamphlet detailing the history of St. John’s. More information will be forthcoming as these ideas and/or additional events are developed.
