St John The Baptist Orthodox

Saint John the Baptist Orthodox Church was established in Rochester, New York on the Sunday of the Myrrh-bearing Women (May 17) in 1964. That year, a group of Orthodox faithful joined together with the desire to establish an Orthodox parish where the Divine Services would be conducted entirely in the English language. Faithfully enduring many difficulties and overcoming obstacles, the parish grew and found a home at its current location a truly inviting and lovely place of worship, centrally situated and easily accessible from the whole greater Rochester area.
