July 1, 2024 - Because the Catholic Churches of DeWitt County have been merged into one parish - St. John the Baptist, Clinton / Sacred Heart, Farmer City / St. Patrick, Wapella - only the St. Patrick website will be updated until a new parish name and website are created.

This website (clintonstjohns.org) will no longer be current EXCEPT for the BULLETINS.  Bulletins are also available at the website below.

Click the "Catholic Churches..." link below to be redirected to the only maintained website:  saintpatrickwapella.org.

Welcome to St. John the Baptist Catholic Church

Our parish community is a vibrant and active place, continuing the mission of Christ in all that we do. We are a warm and welcoming community which prides itself on embracing all that enter our doors. Whether you are searching, visiting, or have chosen to become part of our parish, we hope that you find a spiritual home here at St. John's. On this site, you will find the current Mass times, our scheduled events, and other information about our parish. We welcome you to join us for Mass, and invite you to participate in the life of the parish family!

Volunteers Needed

Altar Servers Needed—St. John’s Parish is in need of altar servers at both weekend Masses. Students 4th grade and older and adults are needed and encouraged to help serve at our weekend Masses. Contact Silvia Comfort (217-520-6305) to get more information.

Music Leaders Needed—You may have noticed we have been short-handed lately at both weekend Masses. Some-times we have no musician available. Sometimes we have no Cantor available. Sunday Mass with no music is not good liturgy. Anyone high school age and older is welcome and needed to help us provide music at our weekend Masses. Contact Debbie Askins (217-935-3727) to volunteer or to get more information.

Lectors, Greeters, Ushers—These ministries need help too. To volunteer, please call the Parish Office.

We ask that you prayerfully consider if God might be calling you to minister to our parish in one of these ways.
