Description
St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church was established in 1941 by Bishop Christopher Byrne and placed under the pastoral care of the Missionary Fathers of Our Lady of La Salette. The first Mass was offered on June 1, 1941.
Our school opened in June 1942 with students from grades one through seven. During this period it was staffed by the Dominican Sisters.
The La Salette Fathers served our parish until 1984. The Society of St. Joseph of the Sacred Heart (the Josephites) took up the pastoral leadership of St. Peter’s until September 30, 1997. On October 1, 1997, the Missionary Society of St. Paul (MSP), took over the pastoral care of St. Peter the Apostle.
St. Peter’s continues to be under the pastoral care of the Missionary Society of St. Paul Priests.
