St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Parish Roman Catholic Church, Diocese of Brooklyn History of St. John the Baptist Parish

A voice cries in the desert: prepare the way of the Lord. St.

John the Baptist eagerly awaited the coming of the Kingdom of God and the new beginning that it would bring. In this same spirit, St. John the Baptist Parish is an oasis of hope for the community of Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, New York. Poverty, violence, unemployment, and fear are words which many others authors have used to characterize this community. These harsh realities are a cancer that t

hreatens to consume us as a society. Some people have become its victims. Others have even given up hope. But the story of St. John’s is an account of a people who have refused to surrender to the problems that engulf their neighborhood. It is the story of the struggle of a community committed to create a better life for itself and its people. John the Baptist Parish has become a focal point in the community, cradling and nurturing the human spirit in the midst of chaos.
