Hispanic Ministry
-
St. Juan el Bautista se esfuerza por ministrar y satisfacer las necesidades de nuestras familias hispanas. Ofrecemos una versión en español de muchos de nuestros materiales impresos, como Estaciones de la Cruz, Misales, Biblias y libros de oración.
Se lleva a cabo una misa en español el primer domingo de cada mes a la 5 p. m., a menudo seguida inmediatamente de una comida con un plato cubierto.
Únase a nosotros a medida que expandimos aún más este ministerio.

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are appointed by the Bishop to distribute Holy Communion at Mass or to those unable to attend Mass. Any confirmed Catholic who is a registered member of our parish and able to receive Holy Communion is invited to become an Eucharistic Minister. If you are interested in serving in this capacity, please contact the church office.

Altar Servers
Servers assist at weekend Masses, weddings, funerals, Stations of the Cross, and other liturgical services. Altar Servers perform many tasks before, during and after Mass. Servers carry the cross and processional candles, hold the book for the priest when he is not at the altar, carry the incense and censer, present the bread, wine and water to the priest during the preparation of the gifts, assist the priest when he receives the gifts from the people and generally assists during the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
New server orientation and training sessions are held several times a year. Saint John the Baptist Catholic Church needs committed, reverent servers to assist at the altar.
Our Servers are coordinated by Marion Koss. If you have made your first Holy Communion and are interested in this ministry, please contact the church office.

Ushers
The Ministry of being an Usher is open to all called to welcome visitors and parishioners to the sacred place of worship. Ushers are needed at all Masses. The time commitment is minimal - just an extra 15 minutes before your Mass and 10 minutes after. Any registered member of our parish can become an Usher.
In the ministry of hospitality, you can help make Sunday Mass more meaningful for all parishioners and visitors. If you are interested in helping St. John with this ministry, please call the church office for more information.
