Nestled in the midst of the historic Southwood Park neighborhood of the '07 zip code, St. John the Baptist truly is a neighborhood parish.  

Every Sunday morning, numerous parishioners walk from their homes to Mass at St. John the Baptist. Throughout the week, students ride their bikes to school. In Advent, we go Christmas caroling thoughout the neighborhood. And parishioner owned restaurants like The Friendly Fox, Antonuccio's Italian Market, and Hall's Diner are just blocks from the church.  

St. John's is a growing parish with young families moving into their first homes and families who have grown up here for generations.  

Newly renovated, we're in the midst of beginning a new chapter of spiritual renewal with Cornerstone, our five year pastoral plan. Our primary mission is to make Christ the center of our lives by proclaiming His Good News to a world that desperately needs to hear it. We're committed to building up God's Kingdom in this portion of the vineyard He has entrusted to us through Evangelization, Worship, Catechesis, Vocations, Works of Mercy, and Stewardship.

We invite you to become a part of our parish family and make Christ the center of your life.
