St. John Vianney Parish was established as part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Trention in the summer of 1959 from it's parent parish St. Cecelia's in Iselin. Since that time there have been many changes to the parish building complex as well as to the clergy who served this faith community. Roman Catholics of Colonia and the surrounding communities have worshipped here since our founding almost 50 years ago.

These pages provide an overview of that history as we continue to grow and serve the people of our parish.
