Historical Information

The records of St. John's Church in Millville, Massachusetts date to the founding of the parish in 1849 and comprehensively document the administrative and religious activities of the parish for a one hundred thirty year period. The records in this group represent the older inactive records of the parish.

Millville, Massachusetts is just over the border from Rhode Island and St. John's draws many of its parishioners from Rhode Island. There is also a connection with the Diocese of Rhode Island since for eight years in the 1950s and 1960s St. John's shared a ministry with St. Andrew's Chapel in Woonsocket, Rhode Island.
