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.

We invite you to join our mailing list and receive emails we send out with news, or special Mass schedules.
