Faith Formation
Our Saint John the Baptist family faith formation invites parishioners to Sacramental preparation through Religious Education and Adult Education (R.C.I.A.)
"But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect."
- 1 Peter 3:15
The variety of Ministries here at St. Johns have their own charism. In their uniqueness, they call forth other disciples for one purpose of growing in holiness. By growing in relationship with Jesus, He equips us to carry the transforming light of the of the Incarnate Word in the Gospel uniting the family and community with His transforming love.
No matter where you are on your journey, we welcome you to join us in hearing the call to follow Jesus as His disciple.
Jesus said,
"Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.
At once they left their nets and followed him."
-Matthew 4:20
As Catholic educators, we pursue and promote active cooperation between parents and the school. Our school seeks to respond to the needs of our students by integrating instruction, culture, and faith. Our goal is to create opportunities for growth in an atmosphere in which each student's spiritual, moral, psychological, intellectual, physical, sociological, and aesthetic development is met.
