St. John Neumann Parish was established on February 1, 1978. In the beginning, the parish worshipped at St. John Wesley United Methodist Church, Welch Elementary School, Pleasant Run Golf Course clubhouse, and a storefront in Woodfox Center until the dedication of the church building on May 17, 1985. The parish focus is on faith-filled worship, intergeneerational faith formation, and incorporation of youth into parish life.

Since 1980, St. John Neumann has shared a consolidated school with St. Bartholomew and Corpus Christi parishes. Beginning with the 2008-2009 school year, they joined with St. John th Baptist, Dry Ridge and Corpus Christi to form a Pastoral Area School.

In 1999, the Church gathering space was renovated with a new tile floor and baptismal font suitable for immersion. A parish pastoral center was constructed in February 2000 with staff offices, youth room, music rehearsal room and lower level for future growth. The building, which had been used for offices and the pastor's residence, was then remodeled to serve soley as a home for the pastor. In November 2000, the nave was renovated with new chairs, carpeting, lighting and sound systems to provide seating on all sides of the altar.

We have been blessed with 8 pastors: Rev. Jesse Lonsway,
Rev. Patrick Duffy, Rev. Robert Waller, Rev. Thomas Feldhaus,
Rev. Steven Kolde, Rev. Kyle Schnippel, Bp. Joe Binzer, and
Rev. Pete St. George.
