Hello! Thank you for visiting us online today. Let us tell you a little about ourselves.

The first Catholics in Hocking County were a group of six families that emigrated from Germany in 1837. Later, in 1859, the parish purchased the property on North Market Street, which is still our home today! The brick church building was completed in 1898 and was dedicated with more than 3,000 people present.

In addition to our church, we also have an elementary school, St. John Catholic School, which was built in 1924. The school was originally run by sisters of Notre Dame de Namur who lived in the convent on the property. While the sisters are no longer with us, St. John School continues to offer education to students in Preschool through sixth grade. For more information about the school, please visit https://stjohnlogan.org/.

In addition to the school, the St. John parish has remained an active part of the community through organizations like the Knights of Columbus, the St. Vincent de Paul Society, and We Are Friends, as well as events like fish fries, community dinners, and movie nights!
