WELCOME TO SAINT JOHN THE BAPTIST ROMAN CATHOLIC PARISH IN THE DIOCESE OF ORANGE!
-
Our parish is staffed by Norbertine priests from Saint Michael's Abbey in Silverado, who serve in the parish church and its grammar school.
The Norbertines of Saint Michael’s follow the nine hundred-year-old traditions of the Canons Regular of Prémontré, founded by Saint Norbert.
Three main language groups (English, Spanish, Vietnamese) are ministered to within the parish through Masses, adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, confessions, youth and adult religious education classes, visits to the sick and dying, prayer groups, volunteer opportunities, and social events.
Our primary goal is to make ourselves, together with our parishioners, saints. If that is your goal also, come join us!

anointing of the sick
Parishioners who are in remote or near danger of death, or soon to undergo a serious operation, should request the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick (aka: the "Last Rites" or "Extreme Unction"). It is best received when the sick are still able to vocally participate. Do not contact the priests directly, but call the main office, (714) 540-2214. Outside normal business hours, call and follow the voice prompt.
