Welcome to St. John the Baptist Cathedral Basilica Parish

Welcome to our parish community! We’re so glad you’ve decided to join us. If you haven’t already, say hi to Father Critch, our Parish priest. He would love to meet you.

Doors are usually open 30 minutes before Mass starts, so feel free to arrive early and introduce yourself to any of our parishioners.

We have various ministries available in the parish so please don’t hesitate to call Jill in our parish office at (709) 754-2170 and ask about ways to get connected.

Whether you are a lifelong Catholic or are exploring your faith for the first time, we welcome you to join our Parish to learn more about the teachings and love of Christ.

Here at the Basilica, we want to love God, to love one another, and to make the name of Jesus known.

To visit the Basilica or for tours, please contact the Basilica Heritage Foundation at (709) 793-4411.
