St. John the Baptist Celebrates Sesquicentennial
Date: June 16, 2015
St. John the Baptist Parish celebrated its Sesquicentennial the weekend of June 13-14 at parish Masses, each of which was followed by a social event. The celebration wound up with a parish picnic at nearby Somonauk Park. A picnic feast was followed by a variety of activities including a dunk tank featuring parochial administrator, Father Kevin Butler, who occasionally used water shooters to spray those who were working to keep him drenched.
