In 1884 St Peter's Catholic Church was formed to provide a separate church for the growing Catholic population in this section of Worcester. Rev H. O'Neil was appointed to form the parish. On June 6, 1884 ground was broken, in Sept of 1884 the cornerstone was laid and the church was completed in 1893.
The church was designed by P.W.Ford of Boston, who designed a large number of Worcester's Roman Catholic Churches. It is predominately Victorian Gothic and build on red brick with granite trim. It is one of the most ornate church buildings in Worcester.
