We the parishioners of St. John the Baptist,
brothers and sisters in Christ, accept as our mission:
to know our faith and share it with others, to continue to grow spiritually with respect for the sacraments, to celebrate the liturgy and the Holy Eucharist as the center of our Christian life, to live by truth and love, to serve those in need, to teach by example, and thereby strengthen and inspire our Parish family in accordance with the Roman Catholic Church.

Masses will be at the Chapel of St. John Nepomucene, until church renovations are completed.

Your generosity supports 17 agencies and programs that daily serve thousands of people. Please consider making your gift today or at any
