Parish Life | St John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church

Belonging

A Parish Family Beyond Sunday

Parish life is built through small, faithful actions repeated over time. People greet one another before Mass, remember family names, pray for the sick, help prepare the church for feast days, attend funerals, celebrate baptisms, and share the responsibilities that keep a rural parish strong.

At St John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church, fellowship is not an extra program added to faith. It is one way faith becomes visible. The parish seeks to be a place where older parishioners are honoured, children are welcomed, newcomers are noticed, and the lonely are not forgotten.

Seasons

The Rhythm of the Church Year

Advent and Christmas

The parish prepares for the coming of Christ through prayer, Scripture, music, and the joyful celebration of the Nativity.

Lent and Holy Week

Lent calls the community to repentance, prayer, fasting, and mercy. Holy Week leads the parish through the Passion, death, and Resurrection of the Lord.

Easter and Ordinary Time

The Easter season renews the parish in resurrection hope, while Ordinary Time teaches steady discipleship in homes, workplaces, and community life.
