Not long after the Civil War, a young deacon came to the Hill Country to establish Boerne’s first church, but the free thinking founding fathers said you’re going to have to built that thing outside of town on the other side of the Cibolo.   The story of St. Peter’s Catholic Church right after this.

St. Peter’s Catholic Church held its first Mass in 1867, led by Father Emil Fleury.  The small limestone chapel was built with physical and financial help from parishioners including Kendall, Phillips, Staffel, Dienger, Sultenfuss, and O'Grady. 

In 1923 a larger church was built next door in the classic Spanish Mission style with the help of the Kronkosky Family.  Father Fleury who started St. Peters as a young man, helped lay the cornerstone at the age of 80.
