St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church

The brick church building features eight architectural domes, with seven in turquoise color and one in gold, rising against Pittsburgh's downtown skyline.

After its establishment in 1891, the congregation replaced their initial wooden structure with the current brick building in 1895, followed by major additions in 1917.

Every week from September to May, community members gather in the church basement to prepare traditional Ukrainian dumplings called pyrohy for fundraising.

The religious building stands at 109 South 7th Street, covering one acre of land and maintaining regular services under the Eparchy of St. Josaphat.

This structure holds the distinction of being the first Catholic Church of Byzantine Rite established in the United States, dating back to 1891.
