Saint John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church
Located in a small coal-patch town known as Maizeville, PA, St. John's is a small but vibrant parish still celebrating liturgy today.
Like many parishes in Coal Country, St. John's was chartered due to increasing population size (due to the expansion of the coal industry) and the inconvenience of walking miles to church every Sunday to St. Michael's in Shenandoah, PA.
The Church was chartered Sept. 17th 1907 and constructed by O'Hearn Co and parishioners.
