St. Peter's celebrates its 135th anniversary
ZURICH — Over 650 past and present mem-
bers of St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church in
St. Joseph recently gathered to remember all
those who came before and celebrate the faith
that has bound the church community for 135
years.
Families from as far away as Malaysia mar-
veled at the fresh face of the recently renovat-
ed church, strolling through the landscaped
grounds and cemetery, past the statues of St.
Joseph, the Virgin Mary and St. Peter to wit-
ness 135 years of history.
St. Peter's has embraced many new families
into the community over the years, but has not
forgotten its heritage.
The church registry lists most of the family
names of the original settlers who founded the
`Little French Settlement' in 1873.
History was much of this celebration as two
comprehensive publications were made avail-
able to parishioners.
A pamphlet entitled "Celebrating
Our Past" chronicles St. Peter's (St.
Pierre-aux-Bouleaux) parish histori-
cal events from 1846-2008 as com-
piled by Larry Langan.
Dennis and Lydia Ducharme
researched and wrote the "135th
Anniversary Celebration," a booklet
updating the historic memoirs of the
parish from a previous publication in
1929, called "Old Boy's Home
Coming."
Saturday's evening of entertain-
ment featured community favorite
Joe Overholt with over 25 local per-
formers.

The music recaptured memories of the many
dances held in the St. Peter's church hall
which is scheduled for renovation next year.
Sunday morning the expansive white tent
overflowed as 650 people enjoyed the voices of
choirs from past and present prior to celebrat-
ing the anniversary mass lead by Bishop
Ronald Fabbro.
Assisting the Bishop were previous parish
priests, many of whom grew up in the parish,
and current pastor Father Peter Keller.
Mark Tucker, parish council member and
chairperson of the event with his wife Dianne,
stated, "St. Peter's has made quite a trek since
being listed for possible closure two years ago.
This celebration is actually the culmination of
much planning, extensive renovation to the
church and grounds that the entire parish and
community have contributed to and we are all
very proud to be a part of this."
