About Parish / School / Organization Name
St. John the Baptist is a flourishing suburban parish that strives to live their mission statement in every area of the parish. We Bear witness to Jesus Christ who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Go. Make. Teach as we foster our core values of reliance on prayer, willingness to grow, and a generous spirit. St. John’s is known for living and praying liturgy well and many parishioners fill timeslots in our Cenacle Perpetual Adoration Chapel. We offer vast and diverse formation opportunities for all ages in order to help people grow in their faith and deepen their relationship with Christ. A longstanding charism of St. John’s has been a spirit of generosity. We willingly serve those in poverty both physically and spiritually.
We have 2400 households and 300+ students enrolled in our Catholic School. Parish leadership understands the essential work of youth ministry and supports it with space, time, and resources. For the past three years we have been blessed to have a NET Ministries discipleship team minister alongside our current Coordinator of Discipleship. The three teams have invested in cared for our youth. This investment has helped ignite our youth program by establishing a good structure for youth group and discipleship small groups. One of our anchor events in our overall youth program is Catholic Youth Summer Camp, formerly known as Extreme Faith Camp.
