Biographical / Historical
The St. Peter and Paul parish appears to have been founded in the early 1930s during the height of the Great Depression by Ukrainian immigrants. It remained active for approximately 40 years, and was liquidated in the 1970s due to declining membership numbers. The membership appears to have been primarily pre-WWII immigrants and their descendents.
