As followers of Jesus, we, the family of St. John the Baptist Parish, in union with the Holy Spirit, are dedicated to building a Christian Community by proclaiming God’s Word through service and prayer.
We will reach out and nurture the faith of all parishioners. We will respond to the needs of the community locally and globally. We will continue to foster the working together of home, school, parish. We will encourage active involvement in parish life.
Many parishioners are noting that one of the major satellite carriers is not providing Salt & Light TV as part of their channel lineup. Salt & Light TV is now providing extensive video streaming of many of their programs. For more information visit http://saltandlighttv.org and better still, drop a suggestion in to your satellite provider requesting that this channel be added to their regular program selections.
