Welcome to St. John the Baptist Catholic Church Youth Evangelization

Program Registration
Entering the Program (for the first time)
*A copy of each child’s baptismal certificate is required at time of registration.
*When transferring from another parish, proof of prior instruction (transfer letter) must be sent to us from that parish.
*If an Order of Protection is in place, we must be advised of this at the time of registration.

Parent/Parish Partnership in Faith 
Please consider serving in your parish as a catechist (teacher), substitute or hall monitor.

Registration Fees
*Fees must be paid at time of registration.  If there is a financial burden, we will work with families on a payment plan or help to find a solution.  In addition to the regular fees charged, there is an additional fee charged in the Sacrament years.

Special Needs
*If your child has special needs or circumstances, please tell us at registration.  We will do our best to accommodate your child’s needs.  All information will be kept confidential.
Message to all families - We can't emphasize enough how important parents are in forming and sustaining the spiritual lives of their children. Your daily witness of faith will have a far greater and deeper impact than any program, event, or class we offer! As important as parish religious education is, and as much as we believe in the importance of your child's participation in our faith formation program, we first and foremost want to make sure that you are well-supported in your role as your child's primary religious educator.

Below you'll find links to resources designed to help support you and your families. We hope that these resources will help you to better "practice holiness in your homes"! Please reach out to us if there are any additional steps we can take to support you and your families.
