Biographical / Historical

In 1834, Sandusky (then called Portland) was a Station of Peru. They cared for the Catholics irregularly until 1839. In 1839, the Station of Sandusky was attended by Tiffin. Sandusky received their first resident pastor in 1841. In February 1842, the church received land and materials and began to build their first church. The new parish was called Holy Angels Catholic Church. The Church was completed in 1845. By 1853, the German population of Holy Angels had grown large and the Diocese gave permission for them to form St. Mary Catholic Church. In 1866, another parish, Sts. Peter and Paul, was formed and the pastor of Holy Angels moved to this new parish. From 1871 - 1875 Holy Angels was a Mission of Sts. Peter and Paul. In 1875, Holy Angels received another resident pastor. Sts. Peter and Paul parish was established because the catholic population of Sandusky had grown rapidly and the two older parishes could not meet the needs of the population. Despite the three catholic parishes in Sandusky, Holy Angels has managed to grow and keep a steady number of members.
