St. John the Baptist Parish is sponsored by the Franciscan Friars of the St. Louis Province. Founded in 1852, St. John the Baptist Catholic Parish community is quite different from the mostly German population of 1852 - over 150 years ago. As the demographics have changed, St. John's has opened its arms to welcome the Hispanic community, which is now an integral part of the fabric of the life of the parish. St. John's is much more than a beautiful edifice of brick and mortar - we are a community of living stones who enflesh the message of the Gospel in the Franciscan tradition. All are welcome! .
