Since 1831, St. John's has been serving the Manayunk/Roxborough community. Though the church once housed a thriving K-12 school, its doors have been closed. However, the church still serves the community with the tenants of the Catholic faith, with its towering steeple, beautiful sanctuary and bells that toll throughout the day. Its priests remind parishioners to be the feet of Jesus in the community, loving and serving in His name.
