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.

Celebrating World Day of Sick February 11 ~ 5:00 p.m. Mass:
St. John Paul instituted the World Day of the Sick many years ago. It is an opportunity to pray and share, to sacrifice one's suffering for the welfare of the church and urge everyone to see the face of Christ in his or her ailing brother or sister. In our Parish, we will have a special mass that day at 5:00 p.m. with Anointing of Sick afterwards.
May Jesus the Christ fill us with Hope,
Peace and Healing of body, mind and spirit. Amen.
