Welcome from
Father David
Welcome to the St. John the Baptist parish website! St. John the Baptist parish has been a part of the life of Catholics in Monroe County for almost 150 years. We are proud of our history from the original Irish Catholics who settled here in the 19th century to each person who joins us in faith, worship, and fellowship today.
In the midst of these challenging times, we believe that God continues to be with his people to guide us in courage and hope in the Risen Lord Jesus. We seek the Holy Spirit’s guidance to lead us according to God’s to a future that, though challenging, is full of opportunities to bring the good news to all of our brothers and sisters.
Feel free to contact us or me personally to learn more about our faith, for your spiritual needs, or to officially join St. John the Baptist. We need your God given talents to build up the Church. Peace and health to you and your loved ones!
Father David Burgard
Pastor

Prayer for Priestly Vocations
Heavenly Father, Lord of the Harvest,
call forth vocations to the priesthood
from our archdiocese and families.
Jesus, Eternal High Priest,
give us men willing to sacrifice and serve.
Make their hearts after your own Sacred Heart.
Holy Spirit, Everlasting Love between Father and Son,
strengthen, inspire, and set men on fire with divine charity.
Grant them the courage to say yes to their vocation.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, Mother of priests,
comfort and protect your sons as they discern their call.
With Saint Joseph, may they know your love and companionship
as they deepen their relationship with Jesus.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.
St. Anne, pray for us.
St. John Vianney, patron saint of priests, pray for us.
