The 1818 date indicated in the Guide appears to by a typo as the year was 1848 in which the corner stone was laid. In 2011 the church became The Shrine of SS Peter and Paul when many parishes in the area were consolidated in the area becoming the Our Lady of the Mountains parish. Mass is conducted everyday at the Shrine except Sunday and is open for prayer and adoration Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.; Saturday 8:00-12:00 p.m.
