Welcome to St. John the Baptist parish, a Catholic community of 1273 families, nestled in the beautiful and scenic Minnesota River valley of Mankato, MN. 

St. John's is a parish rich in history and tradition, led by holy and faithful priests since 1885.  The legacy of faith-filled liturgies, inspirational preaching, quality educational programming, and exceptional social justice programs continues and is instrumental in building the Kingdom of God for the salvation of all.

We hope you will visit our site often, and if you are visiting the Mankato area, we warmly invite you to share in the liturgy with us.
