Fr. Jake's Funeral Will Be Posted
at 2:00pm For Viewing

Fr. John Foglio - Fr. Jake - has been a fixture at St. John Church & Student Center. He came in 1967 and never really left. In his active retirement,
Fr. Jake celebrated weekly and then a monthly mass. By far, that was always his most uplifting day. As he slowed down just a tad, his homilies stayed as just as long or even longer because he had notes full of important things he wanted to tell us — breaking open the Word.

He also stayed active on the parish Matthew 25 Committee from it’s inception to just before his death. This committee is tasked with supporting causes which serve dire needs here in the U.S. and across the world. Each week, 5% of the offertory for St. John and St. Thomas is donated to charities selected by this committee.

On Sunday, Oct. 11, from 2-5 p.m. there will be a
Covid-Safe opportunity for parish members and the public to say their farewells to Fr. Jake at a special
lying-in-state* at St. John Church and Student Center,
327 MAC, East Lansing.

In respect for Fr. Jake’s legacy of promoting holistic health, those entering must be masked and must adhere to
required social distancing as guided by church and funeral home staff.
People are asked to enter St. John on the MAC side and depart
via the alley side, moving in one direction through the building.

*Lying-in-state is NOT a visitation. This is an opportunity for people to file by Fr. Jake's body, to say farewell, and to lift him up to the Lord.
The line will be continuously moving so that as many people as
possible will be able to see Fr. Jake one last time.

Please Do Not Let St. John Become the Next Covid Nexxus.
