The Church of St. John Nepomucene is a Roman Catholic parish located on East 66th Street and 1st Avenue in Manhattan, New York City.[2] The founders of the church were recent immigrants from Slovakia, who began meeting in St. Brigid's Parish at 8th Street and Avenue B in about 1891 and established the Society of St. Matthew to organize their own parish.[3]

The parish was established in 1895 from within St. Elizabeth of Hungary parish, which was centered on its church on 83rd Street.[4] The church, school and rectory were built for $300,000.[1][5]
