Description
A black and white photo of a sculpture of Jesus' crucifixion inside the beautiful and historic St. Peters Catholic Church in Jefferson City, Missouri, United States. You can't help but be in awww of it's beauty. The history of St. Peter Church and Catholicism in Jefferson City can be traced back to just ten years after the founding of the capital city in 1821. The first Catholic Church in Jefferson City was constructed in 1845 & 46 under Father Helias, on the present site of St. Peter School. The church served the community well for 12 years until the growth of the Catholic population forced Fr. William Walsh, the 4th pastor, to construct the 2nd St. Peter church on the corner of Broadway and High Streets. It was built of brick and dedicated in 1856 on a plot of land purchased for $600. The Jefferson Inquirer, the city newspaper, declared the new brick building to be the “handsomest building in the city. The present church was designed by Adolph Druiding and constructed by Fred H. Binder with 800,000 bricks donated by G.H. Dulle. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 18, 1976. It is 173 1/2 feet in length. It is 60 feet wide and has a seating capacity of 700. The clock tower, a city landmark, rises 170 feet. The tower contains four bells cast by the Struckstede Foundry with an aggregate weight of 8,000 pounds. (Info from www.saintpeterjc.org)
