St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church (1)
Saint John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church is located in Jewett, New York in the northern Catskills. The beautiful church was built in 1962 using the traditional construction methods of the Ukrainian Carpathian Mountain highlanders. The church, constructed on lands donated by Dr. Ivan Makarevych, was designed by sculptor Jaroslaw Paladij and architect Ivan Zhukowsky and was built by master carpenter Jurij Kostiw. The interior of the church was decorated by two prominent Ukrainian artists, iconographer Petro Cholodny, Jr., and wood-carver/sculptor Mykhailo Chereshniowsky.
The church is located along Route 23A, six miles west from the village of Hunter and two miles east from the hamlet of Lexington. For more information about the church, its history and current events, visit their website at www.ukrainianmountaintop.org.
