St. John the Baptist Parish Mission Statement
Established in 1922, the parish family of St. John the
Baptist Church welcomes and invites all people to our
community, especially those in need. Guided by the Holy Spirit we are
sustained by the Sunday Eucharist, the Word of God, and the Sacraments.
All are encouraged to share their time, talent and treasure as we grow in love
through our Catholic faith and the life, death and resurrection of Our Lord
Jesus Christ.
