Why Do We Need to Update the Census?
What Do You Do With My Information?

The census is very important to our church as a parish as well as to you as a parishioner.  Your registration helps us to assist you with any sacramental needs that you may have.  We can better serve your family in times of need if we have your current contact information.  Also, having current parishioner information assists us with with accurate reporting to the Diocese of Shreveport.

Important Message-

Lifetouch Photography will be using contact information from our census database to create the new St. John Church Directory.  If you wish to be listed in the directory, even without a picture, please be sure that your census form is submitted immediately.  If you do not want your address and phone number listed in the directory, you must contact the office as soon as possible to opt out.  You may have only your name listed, if you wish.  If we do not hear from you, everyone with a census will have their name, address and phone number listed in the directory.  Please call the office during normal business hours (M - F, 8 AM - 4 PM) at 318-256-5680  if you have questions.

Thank you for helping us create a great church directory!
