Episcopal Cathedral of St. John the Baptist (San Juan, Puerto Rico)

It is the seat of the Diocese of Puerto Rico and it is located in the Santurce district of San Juan.[1] The first service of the Mission of St. John the Baptist was held on March 12, 1899, in a hall on the plaza in Old San Juan.Old San Juan increasingly became a commercial center and its residents moved elsewhere.In 1928 Bishop Charles Colmore proposed relocating St. John's and St. Luke's Church in new locations.The following year the bishop spoke of St. John's and St. Catherine's Training School for Women relocating at Santurce with the hope that St. John's Day School and the rectory would join them.
