Priests from St. John's parish included Archimandrite Afansy Markovich, for many years until his death pastor in Denver, Colorado; Father John Adamiak, an active parish priest for many years until his death; Father Joseph Dzvonchik, a priest in several parishes, including St. Nicholas Cathedral in New York. An active organizer of the youth and frequent contributor to church publications, Fr. Joseph worked for many years in the highest administrative echelons of the Church; Father John Telep, a very well-known pastor, respected preacher and dynamic organizer until his death.

Among the active parish priests today, there is Father Paul Robitsky of Frackville, Pennsylvania, treasurer of the Diocese of Philadelphia and Eastern Pennsylvania. There are also a great number of mutushki (priests' wives) from Mayfield parish.

Damaged by fire, the church building was remodeled and rededicated in 1960. A new school and auditorium was built at a cost of a quarter of a million dollars, in 1967, replacing the old school which served the community for so many years, and was one of the landmarks of Olyphant. The parish has now embarked on a program to replace the parish home, the last of the original structures that the parish built at the end of the last century. At the same time there is to be an extensive re-landscaping of the land around the church and parish home. St. John's Church, school and parish home continue to be the center of not only the parish, but also of the community of Mayfield. Despite the replacement of the school and parish house, and the refurbishment of the church, the old Russin Orthodox spirit, which gave birth to St. John's church, is very much alive among its parishioners to this day. Some of them are three or four generations removed from the pioneer founders.

The history of St. John's parish cannot be reduced to a few pages of printed words. For no eloquence can describe the heart and spirit of an organic spiritual life of the family or the parish, two basic units of the Body of Christ, his Church. Highlights of the events of eighty-five years, and the accomplishments of a few of its outstanding individual members of the past can only serve as the skeleton of a dynamic living organism, which is St. John's parish. And yet St. John's is not the oldest parish, nor is it the largest. It is a typical parish of the Orthodox Church in America in some ways, yet is distinctly unique. It is one of many parishes, which returned to Orthodoxy in the first quarter of this century. It has remained a loyal and devoted supporter and defender of Orthodox ideals throughout its history, imparting these ideals to all of its members.

The founders of St. John's came to this country during difficult times. They struggled to let down their roots in a new soil. Even though the land was resistant, and at times inhospitable to strangers, they established a parish which is a living memorial to their love for Russin ideals and the Orthodox Faith, following the example of Father John Kaumovich, Father Alexis Toth, and Archbishop Tikhon, who during his episcopacy in America formally received the parish and visited it on several occasions. His memorable address on his first visit to St. John the Baptist Church, on May 3, 1903, is a spiritual legacy for the future generations to read, ponder and follow.
