Celebrating 50 Years of Faith
In 2026, St. John the Baptist Parish joyfully celebrates 50 years of faith, community, and service.

This anniversary is a time to give thanks for our past, celebrate our present, and look toward the future with hope.
IMPORTANT SECURITY NOTICE
We want to make you aware of a recent data breach affecting our parish contact information.
Some parishioners may receive an email or phone call from someone impersonating Fr. Ramon. The fraudulent email looks very official and even includes a picture of Fr. Ramon. It may request urgent assistance and ask you to purchase gift cards or send money.
