    St. Peter Catholic Church

    Like our Catholic Faith, our church is a beautiful treasure which has been passed down for generations. The first St. Peter's Catholic Church was built in 1892 with the first Mass being said on Easter Sunday of that year.  The current larger church was completed in 1903, but was destroyed by a cyclone in 1917. The parishioners re-built the church which you see today. It is one of sixteen painted churches in Texas. The church has been restored twice over the years with the latest completed in 2012 and is in pristine condition.  The Church is open during daylight hours. We are pleased to share both with you, our visitor.
