Welcome Guests

Important Announcement:

One need not be ethnically Ukrainian to join this parish. The Ukrainian Catholic Church is a church that comes from the Ukrainian people, but is for the entire human race.  We live out our Catholic faith according to the Byzantine Rite, which means that our theology, liturgy, spirituality and canon law are non-Latin or non-Roman, while maintaining full Eucharistic communion with the Catholic Church in Rome. More information is available on our about us page.  - Fr. Ivan Chirovsky

An historical landmark, St. John's is located in the heart of Pittsburgh, just minutes from downtown.   Please take some time to look around our site, and be sure to let us know what you think by signing our guest book.

 

IN THE SPOTLIGHT:
Please visit our Eastern Dignity page to read an important message from John Paul II (The Great) on why conversion is required of the Latin Church that she may respect and fully appreciate the dignity of Eastern Christians, and accept gratefully the spiritual treasures of which the Eastern Catholic Churches are bearers, to the benefit of the entire Catholic communion.
