About

St. John the Baptist church was founded in 1877 as one of the first mission churches in the area. However, it was not until the Vatican II approval and encouragement for lay ministry participation that the Lector Ministry became an integral part of the church. On the later part of the 1970s, we started to have active participation of trained lectors in the liturgy of our masses. Today, the Lector Ministry has been recognized by the Diocese to be an important ministry that motivates full participation in the celebration of the Mass and inspires the spread of the messages of our Lord Jesus Christ
