ST. JOHN PARISH MISSION STATEMENT
We the parish of St. John the Baptist, (Newburgh) declare it
our primary responsibility to continue the mission of Christ
to bring about the kingdom of God.  We are Catholics, gifted through baptism to become a community of believers, living in union with Christ and one another.
We are dedicated to assembling to give honor
and glory to God through the celebration of the mysteries
of our redemption; educating ourselves and our
children in our Catholic faith, and being instruments of peace, reconciliation and service to others.
We shall pursue this mission faithfully through the power
of the Holy Spirit and through Stewardship--the gifts of time, talent, and treasure to our members.
