Our mission of Catholic education began in 1876 when the first resident pastor of St. Peter Church, Fr. Socha recognized the importance of a school for the formation of his spiritual children. For nearly 150 years, and with a firm resolve in the value of Catholic education, this mission has withstood everything from world wars to the flood of 1965. The good fruit of this rich legacy continues to inspire our work, our sacrifice and our dependence on God, to whom we all belong.
