One of the Peter and Paul Churches is Orthodox and the other Roman Catholic. The third church is St. Mary's and it is Orthodox. Since this is a Roman Catholic cross it would belong to the Roman Catholic Peter and Paul church.

"Being the first Orthodox Church established in this area, SS. Peter and Paul thus became the “mother” church for other churches in the area. Here in Endicott the church provided the seed in the early 1920s for its namesake, SS. Peter and Paul (now) Roman Catholic Byzantine Rite Church in Watson Blvd. In the mid 1950s St. Mary’s American Carpathian Russian Orthodox Church in Jenkins Street became a further offshoot of the Watson Blvd. church."
