St. John FrontSt. John the Baptist Catholic Church serves the greater Ypsilanti and Eastern Michigan University communities.  The parish church and Catholics on Campus Student Ministry provide spiritual care for thousands of families in eastern Washtenaw county, Catholic college students, as well as university faculty and staff.  We are a local parish of the Diocese of Lansing committed to the faith and teaching of the Roman Catholic Church.  We seek to share that same faith through an encounter with Jesus Christ in the sacraments, works of mercy and a vision for a place where all people are invited to accept the gift of God’s transformative love.

Mass Guidelines per Diocesan Directives

The dispensation from the Sunday Mass obligation will continue through September 6, 2020. We plan to continue to live stream the 9:00 a.m. Sunday Mass even after this date for those who cannot attend.

  • If you have a fever or have been ill in the last 48 hours,  please do not attend Mass.
  • Please wash your hands thoroughly or use hand sanitizer before attending Mass.
  • Masks/face coverings will be required.
  • RESTROOMS will not be available for use. We are not able to disinfect them after each use so they will, unfortunately, remain locked for the present time.
  • There will be no congregational singing and responses should be vocalized in a “soft voice”.
  • There will be special directions for receiving Communion and the Priest will explain further at the time of the liturgy.
  • We will use a color seating system inside the church to maintain physical distancing for our parishioners. Pew color for Mass will be displayed at the entrance to the church. 

We highly encourage you to bring either Lysol Wipes or a disinfectant spray to wipe down your pew after Mass.  Please be aware that these guidelines are subject to change as we receive information from the Diocese of Lansing.
