Biographical / Historical

St. Peter Catholic Church began as a Station of Peru, OH in 1834. It remained a Station of Peru until 1839. After that St. Peter became a Station of several different churches throughout Northwest Ohio until 1890. Between 1834 and 1890 mass was held in the home of private citizens.

In 1890, St. Peter's first church was completed. When the church was completed the parish became a Mission of Vermilion. In 1902, the pastor from Vermilion, Father N.W. Horst, became St. Peter's first resident pastor. With this Vermilion became a Mission of Huron.

Due to a growing congregation through the years a new church was completed in 1969. It is still in use today.
