Biographical / Historical
St. Peter Catholic Church was formed in 1847. Priests from the Sanguinist Order served this church as a mission until 1865. In 1857, the first church was built. In 1865, the congregation received their first resident pastor, Father Bernard Quinn. He stayed until October of 1865. At this time Father Gerhart Spierings was assigned as pastor and St. Mary of Kirby, OH became a mission of St. Peter Catholic Church. It remained a mission until 1874. In 1976, St. Mary became a sister parish of St. Peter and one pastor served both.
In 1869, a new church was built to replace the overcrowded church. That church soon became overcrowded as well and a new building was erected in 1879. This church is still in use today.
