“Arise, bless the LORD, your God, from eternity to eternity! And may they bless your glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.”
We belong to a parish that is alive in action and spirit thanks to our love for one another and our desire to follow the teachings of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Since our founding, the parishioners of St. John the Baptist have built a thriving faith community full of Catholics from throughout the Corpus Christi area.
Over the last 20 years, the community of St. John the Baptist has grown from a small church to one of the largest parishes in the Diocese of Corpus Christi. While the number of parishioners in the pews has changed, our mission has not: We bring people to Jesus, form disciples and send them to transform the world.
Today, we have more than 850 parish families and over 15 active ministries. Our goal is to expand our parish campus to include more usable space for our staff, ministries and organizations. It is our hope that, through new spaces, and eventually a new church building, we can continue to serve each of you and set up St. John the Baptist for a bright and dynamic future.
