St. John The Baptist Catholic Church in El Cerrito, CA, traces its roots back to 1908 when it started as a mission before evolving into a parish within the Diocese of Oakland. Offering traditional masses, the church also hosts a Brazilian mass in Portuguese on Sundays at 6 p.m. and a Mandarin mass every fourth Sunday at 2 p.m.
Following the passing of the former pastor, the Rev. John Maxwell, in 2010, the church is now under the leadership of Rev. Thuong Nguyen, with the popular Parochial Vicar, Rev. Rolando Bartolay, affectionately known as "Father Bart." The church is closely linked with Saint John The Baptist School located adjacent to its premises.
