About St John the Baptist Ukrainian Church
St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church has been a landmark in South Lorain since its founding in 1913 by Ukrainian immigrants. The present church structure was built in 1922, and the parish expanded after World War II with the arrival of displaced immigrants unable to return home due to Communist control. Today, the congregation honors its Ukrainian heritage while welcoming people from diverse backgrounds. The parish is rooted in the Byzantine tradition and serves as part of the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of St. Josaphat in Parma, Ohio. St. John the Baptist invites visitors to experience its faith community centered around God and Ukrainian Catholic tradition. Those interested in weddings or baptisms are encouraged to contact the priest well in advance.
