St. John the Baptist has stood at the heart of Riverton for over a hundred years — a community gathered around the altar and sent out to serve.
We are an ordinary parish with an extraordinary inheritance. Sunday by Sunday, feast by feast, we gather to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and to be formed as disciples of Jesus Christ.
Around that altar we find people of every age and background — lifelong Catholics and newcomers, the settled and the searching. All are welcome here.
Liturgy celebrated with beauty and care, drawing the soul toward the sacred.
Faithful to the teaching of the Church handed down through the centuries.
Every visitor and stranger received as Christ himself among us.
Faith made visible in works of mercy for the poor and the forgotten.
Immigrant families gather to build a parish church on Cathedral Lane, dedicating it to St. John the Baptist.
A growing congregation completes the nave, choir loft, and the rose window that crowns the west front.
The parish school and outreach kitchen open their doors, extending the church’s mission into the wider town.
Today we remain a house of prayer — rooted in the old faith, alive to the needs of a new generation.
Make straight
the way of the Lord.
The surest way to know our parish is to join us in prayer. We would be honored to welcome you.
