MISSION STATEMENT

We parishioners of St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church are called by Jesus to be a community of his disciples, growing in faith and worshiping together in Eucharistic celebration. Nourished by God's transforming love and blessed by gifts of the Holy Spirit, we are empowered to live the gospel message and to witness it to others. Thankful for God's many gifts as  Christian stewards we commit to share our time, talent and treasure in Christ-like service within our parish community and beyond. We seek God's blessing and guidance to be faithful to this mission.

Parish Census Is Here! It’s Been 15 Years! - Hello! Are you there?
Census
Well, we don’t know if you are unless we have a record of you and your family, so we are now trying to update our census files to get a better idea of all those who belong to our parish. (Even Joseph and Mary had to register in a census!) It has been 15 years since the last one.

Many people have moved in and out of our area, many children have grown up and
been married, some parishioners have gone to God and new lives have been welcomed into our community. The status of so many of our parishioners has changed.

There are also people attending Mass here for whom we have no record. When the
Archdiocese asks if we have enough parishioners to keep our parish going, we need to have an answer. Only you can give it to us, so we ask your help.

Forms are available at the rectory and parish center and online (please click here to download the form). We are doing it this way to avoid the need for a house-to-house registration, and any inconvenience to you.  Those who have not yet responded will receive a form by mail.

Please return your form to the rectory, or in the Collection basket.  
It is very important for future requests for marriages, funerals, references, baptisms, planning for the future, etc. Please take a few minutes to fill out the form. Help us to help you!  

If you would like to return the form electronically, please detach the form via the link above, save it and email it back to guysgirl@optonline.net.
