Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion
Lector Ministry
Lectors perform the ministry of proclaiming God’s Word, the sacred scriptures, at the liturgies.
Music Ministry
Our parish is blessed to have gifted singers and skillful instrumentalists, both professional and lay musicians, who participate in our ministry week after week. It is our goal to present music that glorifies, edifies, and ministers to the saints who worship with us. Our parish Music Ministry engages parishioners of all ages and style preferences
Hospitality Ministry
We make the Church of St. John the Baptist a welcoming community for parishioners and visitors alike. We are usually the frontline to greet and welcome visitors.
Our duties revolve around weekend Masses.
We welcome worshippers into the church, equip them with materials, usher them to available seats, take up the collection and facilitate the Offertory.
OUR MINISTRIES
Homebound Ministry
Bring the Eucharist to parishioners who are unable to attend Mass.
If you or anyone in your household is homebound and unable to come to church, the Homebound Ministry is here to keep you connected to the St. John the Baptist Parish.
No matter the reason for being homebound – recuperating from surgery, medical problems, or temporarily/permanently unable to attend church – the extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion for the sick are available to bring Communion.
If you or a family member are in need of a homebound minister or require visitation to a residential facility, please contact the parish office (408) 262-2546 so that a minister may be assigned.
