St. John the Baptist Church is an historic Roman Catholic church at 68 Slater Street in Pawtucket, Rhode Island within the Diocese of Providence.

Description

East facade

Built in 1925–27, it is very similar to Notre-Dame de Guadalupe Church in Montreal, also designed by Canadian architect Ernest Cormier.[2] The church is most notable for its particularly lavish interior, which features ceiling artwork by Jean Desauliers and stained glass windows by Mauméjean Frères of Paris.[3]

The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
