We
are a Roman Catholic Parish in the Diocese of
Lexington, Kentucky, with a
membership of approximately 530 families. Early pioneer Catholics in
Lexington
worshipped in their homes and in a log chapel until the first church, St.
Peter’s, was built on Third Street in 1812.
Popular missionary priest, Father Stephen Badin, was responsible for building
the church. The site, with its own cemetery, was then on the outskirts of town.
With close to 200 years of history, we are excited about celebrating our
bicentennial in 2012. This family of faith has been the sanctuary and source of
guidance for thousands of God’s people. Members as well as newcomers have
gathered to worship, learn, reach out in service, and be Christ for one another.
