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!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FROM sjb pastor,FR. AUGUSTINE PUCHNER, O.Praem.
-
On Sunday, June 5th, Fr. Augustine announced to SJB parishioners that Abbot Eugene Hayes has appointed him to be the superior of the Norbertine community that is being established in Springfield, Illinois.
Father stated that in order to begin his work of establishing the new foundation, he will be leaving "our beloved SJB" this summer at the end of July and moving back to the Midwest - dividing his time between LaCrosse, Wisconsin (Cardinal Burke's Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe) and Springfield.
Next spring or summer (2023) Father Augustine will be joined by 4 to 6 Nobertine Fathers from St. Michael's Abbey and the new community will officially commence its work.
Father Augustine also announced that Abbot Hayes has appointed Fr. Pascal Nguyen, O.Praem., from St. Michael's Abbey, to be our new pastor at St. John the Baptist.
Father Pascal was one of the original four Norbertine priests who came to St. John the Baptist parish in 2002, and he is excited to be returning to SJB as our pastor. He will officially begin his duties as pastor on August 1st.

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.
