Parishioners of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church,
Welcome to your personalized Parish Counseling page!
Our team of Parish Counselors is here to serve Catholic individuals, couples, and families across Alvin. We understand your parish strives to be a community of love through sharing, so we are ready to share our talents as professional counselors to bring healing, hope, and ultimately the joyful love of Christ. On this page you can learn about the counselors who are available to meet with you, see our office hours, and get in touch with us to schedule an appointment. We hope to hear from you soon!
– Dr. Chris Stravitsch, President
Here is the good news. Beginning in July, our friends from Rejoice Counseling Apostolate will help us with this particular need. One of their Parish Counselors will be available at our Church office one day per week. I hope and pray that we can take advantage of this new ministry for the sake of our well being.
