The Church of St. John in Voula is located in the area of the commercial center of the city (the old residents call it Ano Voula), in the park between the two avenues, the coastal one, which is the continuation of Poseidon from Piraeus and Vouliagmeni, from Athens.
It is the only Church of St. John the Baptist, along the entire south beach of Attica.
In the early 1950s, the few permanent residents of the area, who belonged to the oldest Parish of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Voula, on the initiative of the Association for the Restoration of Landless Kropia (S.A.A.K.), founded in this area and erected the Chapel in the name of "St. John the Beheaded", which is first operated during its Feast, on August 29th of the year 1956.
Later and while the population of the area is increasing, it becomes a Parish, with the first permanent Vicar being the late Fr. Panagiotis Spyropoulos, who in the 1970s expanded the Church twice, until its current form.
The church is equipped with the necessary, from the offerings of the faithful and is embellished with hagiographies mainly of the late Painter - Hagiographer Demetriou Ritsos, parishioner of the Church, as well as his collaborator Antonios Lampadakis, who continues the completion of the project.
The iconostasis, offered by the late parishioners, the Gournas couple, is placed in late 1992 and the church has been air-conditioned since the mid-1990s. The offerings of the ever-increasing believers are important, given their desire to maintain their anonymity. The priests who serve today in the Church, provide opportunities for spiritual training, with frequent Speeches, breakfast offerings and discussions of theological content with older and younger parishioners, but also with pilgrimage excursions, throughout our country. The submission of an offering of the parishioners of the Church, relieves our fellow human beings in need, and helps the unhindered operation of the Parish, which has as its first purpose, the sanctification of its members, to the glory of our God in the Trinity, always with the warm embassies of our patron Saint.

The parish of St. John Voulas, organized nowadays with two and at times three priests, with excellent collaborators, chanters, hardworking and honest commissioners, neokoros, philotimo catechists, etc., proceeds spiritually, with the help of the Saint. Moreover, the Holy Baptist offers during the Ecclesiastical year so many opportunities for His Feasts: Conception (September 23rd), Genesis (June 24), Synaxis (January 7), Beheading of His Holy Head (August 29th), First & Second Finding (February 24), and C' (May 25), during which we have the opportunity to honor Him with Divine Liturgies and Vigils.
