St. Peter's Catholic Church
St. Peter's Catholic Church, Gothic Revival Catholic church in Council Bluffs, United States
The church building displays pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and a central bell tower rising above the symmetrical brick facade in Council Bluffs.
German immigrants established St. Peter's Catholic Church in 1887, with the rectory following in 1895 under the architectural guidance of Mathias Schnell.
German Catholics formed the initial congregation, raising funds through monthly contributions before receiving approval from Bishop Henry Cosgrove to establish their parish.
The church maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors interested in examining the Gothic Revival architecture and historical features.
The parish constructed its own frame schoolhouse in 1888, later replaced by a brick building in 1924 for the Benedictine Sisters teaching staff.
