Creator

Biographical / Historical

The church of Sts. Peter and Paul was established in 1866 to accommodate the quickly growing congregation of Holy Angels Catholic Church in Sandusky. Between 1871 and 1875, Holy Angels Catholic Church was united with Sts. Peter and Paul parish. In 1875, the bishop decided to reopen Holy Angels and established territorial separation between the two English speaking churches.

The building of the church of Sts. Peter and Paul was started in 1866, but was not completed until 1871. This church was damaged by fire twice, the first time in 1917 and the second a few years later. The parish choose to renovate and redecorate the building instead of erecting a new church.
