St. Peter's Church - Westfield, MA - Roman Catholic Churches on Waymarking.com

In 1909, the meeting place of the Slovak Society of St. Mary's Church was destroyed by fire. Subsequently, they purchased the parcel of land on State Street to build their own church. Construction of the resulting St. Peter's Church was completed in 1916. The church is now part of St. Peter's and St. Casimir Parish which was established in 2003. MACRIS: (visit link)
