Join us every Sunday for uplifting worship and fellowship. Our services are designed to inspire and engage everyone in the community. Bring your family and friends to experience the warmth and love of Saint John the Baptist Byzantine Catholic Church. We look forward to seeing you!
St Johns is a 120 years old Byzantine Ruthenian community of the Eparchy of Passaic. The founders of the parish were immigrants who left their homeland in Eastern Europe to settle in a new land. They founded a house of worship in Bridgeport CT on December 5, 1905. Even if they had very few possessions, they brought with them deep faith rich of customs and traditions. The parish community preserved and handed on this rich heritage of faith and prayer from one generation to the next. St Johns that stands on a hill wishes to be the light of the beacon to everybody thourgh the proclamation of the Good News in spirit and truth.
It is one of the 23 Eastern Catholic churches inside the family of Catholicism. So yes, we are a Catholic Church. Roman Catholics as well as any other Eastern Catholic fulfill their Sunday obligation at any Byzantine Catholic parish
