Mixed Photo Collection From February 1986 Puddledock Press(St. Peters Church)

Description

St. Peters Church was founded in 1916 and started with a congregation of about twenty-five parishioners. In 1924 the " barn church" was moved back on the property and a new, "proper" house of worship was built on site. A half a century later the church building was no longer able to hold the increasing number of attendees. The old church was was torn down and the parish hall was remodeled into a church sanctuary with much larger seating capacity.

In the second photo, Rev. Arthur Dufour surrounded by young parishioners outside St. Peters Catholic. Rev Dufour was pastor from 1947 to 1964.
