St. John Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic church in the unincorporated community of Fryburg in Pusheta Township, Auglaize County, Ohio, United States. The parish was established in 1848, the same year in which the community was platted, and construction was completed in 1850. A Catholic school in connection with the church was established in 1877.Williamson, C.W. History of Western Ohio and Auglaize County. Columbus: Linn and Sons, 1905, 752-753. Accessed 2009-11-09. Both buildings feature fine architecture: the church includes Gothic Revival elements such as ornate pilasters and lancet windows, while the former school is a good example of Federal architecture.Owen, Lorrie K., ed.
