St. John the Baptist Catholic Parish
Guidebook of Parish Ministries
Welcome
Welcome

We present this 11th annual issue of the parish Guide Book & Directory to provide resources to aid in our communications here at St. John. I hope you find this book of value. I know I appreciate having this up-to-date information in a handy, little format. A major task is to keep current with people, their whereabouts and ways of keeping in connection. This booklet is a help in that task and we are grateful to all who have helped to gather the material and ready it for printing.

You'll find here a listing of the 100+ ministries currently at work in our midst, and a listing of the people who comprise St. John the Baptist Parish at this time. Another helpful element are the e-mail addresses. We know that many of our people currently correspond electronically. I envision that more and more of our parish communications will use the internet whenever and wherever possible. For example, view our parish website.

This Guide Book & Directory 2010 is provided courtesy of the advertisers listed herein. We know that most of us like to spend our money with those whom we know and trust to give us good service and quality. Our trust in our parish vendors and providers is high. We thank them for helping us produce this booklet.

We continue to reach out to our larger community in various ministries. One of our greatest strengths is in our care and concern for one another. May this publication serve to bring us closer together. May we recognize in the many ministries that emanate from our parish, our concern and care for our people from cradle to grave. May God bless our families and each of us. If there are any ways we may be of service, please let us know.

Sincerely yours in Christ,
Rev. Joseph Ziliak
Pastor


Parish Mission Statement

Welcome to the community of faith in the Lord Jesus at St. John the Baptist Catholic Parish in Newburgh, Indiana. We are a portion of the Catholic Church in Southwestern Indiana that is the Diocese of Evansville. We are one of the 70 parishes that comprise this diocese.

Our primary work is to continue the mission of Christ to bring about the Kingdom of God. Thus we declare our mission.

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;
- 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 of our members.
