    I have been attending mass here since I was 6 years old! Received many sacraments here, and now…read moreI'm passing the tradition on to my kids. They have attended catechism, received baptism, 1st Holly Communion, and sing/play the piano/ukulele during mass. It's nice to come to a place where you see familiar friendly faces and they in turn know you and your family. In this community, they know my kids more than myself or my husband since they are often here for choir practice, church functions or volunteering. This church has gone through many improvements through the years. -Bathroom upgrade (although, they should have more than 1 stall) -Ceiling Fans -Speakers/Microphones -Red Carpet Stage for the choir -Grotto (Mother Mary Statue on the side of the church) -Bingo Monday -Children's Choir, Youth Choir -Love how we can follow along with the choir on the projector screen -Attend the 1st weekend mass of the month and get blessed for your birthday and wedding anniversary! I absolutely LOVE our new priest, Father Richie. He is easy to understand, relates to everyone, meaningful, funny, and genuinely a kind person. This church is full of friendly smiles and welcomes all. I love this little church in Milpitas =)

    The building is nothing really to look at - it's all beige cinder block. The large singing groups…read moreat the different Masses are full of guitars and have lots of young people in them. They have the best songs and singing group of the three churches nearest to me (St. Clare's, Our Lady of Peace). They also have 12:30 and 7:30 p.m. Sunday Masses which can be very convenient. The notable thing about St. John the Baptist Church is that the congregation is about 95% Filipino. And the priests are all Filipino, too. There are lots of mentions in the homilies of the priests' lives growing up in the Philippines, and recently there was a collection to benefit the devastion caused by a recent typhoon that hit the country. The people are really warm and friendly, probably the friendliest of the three nearby churches. Once the priest mentioned that the Phillippines had the highest percentage of Catholics of any country in Asia. I had my doubts, so when I got home I looked up East Timor and noted that it had 8% more Catholics than the Philippines. I e-mailed that information to a priest at St. John the Baptist, but he never wrote back. I am such a dork. The homilies are interesting - the priests tell interesting stories - but ultimately aren't as affecting as the homilies at St. Clare's. Be careful parking in the back lot - people box you in with their cars during Mass, so you might have to wait a bit to get out.
