Synopsis
Excerpt from Fest-Schrift Zum Andenken an Die Wieder-Eröffnung Der St. Peter's Kirche, Philadelphia, Pa: Den Mitgliedern Der St. Peter's Gemeinde Gewidmet; 1901
Many of the former parishioners, who, by force of circumstances, have been away from St. Peter's for any length of time, as also any of the clergy who have labored so zealously here, would certainly not be able to recognize their former parish-church, at the corner of Fifth Street and Girard Ave nue, with which are connected the most hal lowed memories of the past.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the captivating story of St. Peter's German Catholic Parish in Philadelphia, from its inception within the context of massive waves of German immigration during the 1840s, to its development into a major spiritual and social hub for thousands of German Catholics in the bustling metropolis at the end of the 19th century. Central to the story is the author's exploration of the persistent theme of renewal and progress for St. Peter's, detailing the parish's founding when there was only one other German Catholic Church in the whole city, to the major renovations of the present day which exhibit the admiration and love of the parish for its historic and beautiful church building. The book also includes a glimpse into the life and times of Father John Hespelein, beloved pastor of St. Peter's for many years, whose saintly life and devotion to the poor became legendary within the Philadelphia Catholic community. Through exhaustive research and contextualization within the broader history of Philadelphia's German Catholic population, this book provides unique insights not only into the development of a single parish, but also into the lives and experiences of a significant immigrant community in one of America's major cities.
