Our Mission

We, the Roman Catholic Parish of Saint John the Baptist, choose to respond to our baptismal call to live and share the message of the Gospel. 

We strive to accomplish this through building community, discovering our unique gifts as we serve others, gathering for worship and being sent out to witness.

Mass is Now Open to ALL; Online Mass Videos Will Continue

​

• With the recent increase of COVID infections, our church is requiring everyone wear a mask. All non-vaccinated need to wear a mask.

• There is no longer a need to call to pre register, and we are allowing people to self seat. We still encourage social distance but all will be allowed to attend mass.

• Sanitizing will still be continued at this time.

Calendar of Events

We have a Tri-Parish calendar available which lists all the events in our church cluster.
