We the people of Saint Jean Baptiste
Parish,
in the heart of New York City,
are called to live and to proclaim
the Gospel of Jesus Christ
through the celebration of the Eucharist,
adoration, and Christian service.
We strive to build a community of
faith
by the recognition of the God-given dignity of each person
and the sacredness of human life
from its beginning until its end.
We collaborate freely
through the
use
of time, talent, and treasure
to be a parish
of true stewardship and human development.
In this way, the life of the church
will be made manifest
and the kingdom of God will be advanced.
