The History of St. John's the Baptist church is long and prestiged. First off the village of Prague was founded around 1888, and around 1889 the catholics of Prague decided that they wanted their own church because it was hard for them to travel to neighboring parishes. The First Church was finished on June 9,1901. This Church served the community until 1981, than it was demolished and on February 6, 1984 the new church was finished which still is in use today.
St. John The Baptist was the son of Zachary and Elizabeth cousin of Mary, the mother of God (making John the cousin of Christ). He lived most of his early life as a hermit, but around age 30 he began to prach on the banks of the Jordan river. He attracted large crowds, John was the first person to reconize Jesus as the Messiah. Fearful of John's preaching the king Herod had him Killed and beheaded, John inspired many of his followers to follow Christ
