St. John the Baptist Church (Pottsville, Pennsylvania)
St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic church in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. It is located at Tenth & Mahantongo Streets. The current structure was built in 1872.
==History==
St. John the Baptist Church was founded in 1841 by German Catholic immigrants, mostly from Grossenlueder (a village near Fulda), and the Rhenish Palatinate. The original church at Fourth Street & Howard Avenue was built by the parishioners themselves, many of whom were skilled stonemasons and carpenters. With the influx of German Catholic immigrants into Schuylkill County, the parish soon increased tremendously. In 1869, construction on the present church began, and it was finished in 1872. It towers over the landscape of the western end of Pottsville.
In 1878, Father Frederick W. Longinus was appointed rector of the church. Father Longinus was well respected and loved by the parish, where he remained as rector until his death in 1932. In 1905, the original St. John's at Fourth & Howard, which was no longer in use, was sold to the Italian Catholic community, and became St. Joseph's Church.
