HomeSt. John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church, located in Salem, Massachusetts, is a Catholic parish that was established in 1918 by Ukrainian immigrants, originally identifying as "Greek Catholics." The parish was founded under the patronage of St. John the Baptist to preserve and foster their Byzantine Liturgy and Galician chants, enabling members to worship as their ancestors did in Eastern Europe. The parish community reflects a blend of recent immigrants from Ukraine and American-born individuals with Ukrainian ancestry, uniting in their shared faith and liturgical traditions. St. John’s is part of the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Stamford, CT, under the jurisdiction of His Holiness, Pope Francis I.
