Comments on: St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Lindsay, Texas. My Neck Of The Woods http://thiseclecticlife.com/2009/05/09/st-peters-catholic-church-lindsay-texas/ Sassy Texas Storyteller Wed, 23 May 2012 19:54:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Kenny Bezner http://thiseclecticlife.com/2009/05/09/st-peters-catholic-church-lindsay-texas/comment-page-1/#comment-31321 Kenny Bezner Tue, 06 Dec 2011 13:02:42 +0000 http://thiseclecticlife.com/?p=7759#comment-31321 Hey Shelly, The restoration of the church is now complete and "back in business". The interior is so bright and clear, almost as if it is in high definition. The feature that I think stands out the most, if you have seen the interior before is the new floors. The carpet is gone and replaced with new hard wood and tile. The church sustained wind damage to the roof from summer storms and will need major work. So if you see scaffolds up it is for the roof and will still be opened for viewing. Please come by and visit, you won't be disapointed. Hey Shelly,

The final stages are in place, finish alter, finish floors, touch up painting, install stations of the Cross, install murals above alter, install pews, kneelers, install the pipe organ (word is it's 2 years older than the church), Father Ray has good connections, and all the other little details that make St. Peters our beautiful Catholic Church. Add a little clean up..etc. with Gods grace we'll be in by June 2011. The painting is nearly complete! Praise be to God.

I think you are the Kenny that I know. I'm glad to see they are restoring the church. As you know, Jerry's family belongs to one of those lovely chapels (or vice versa) :lol:. I think I have some decent pictures of them, but it's hard to get those through the glass. I'll have to come see the church when it is fully restored. Thanks for dropping by, Kenny!

Along with this beautiful church are four small chapels, two are directly in front of the church on both sides of the parking lot and two are on the SW part of the cemetary. The chapels were built in 1913-1914 commisioned by then Pastor Bernard Zell. The chapels are reminiscent of chapels built in the German countryside for the laborers to pray and worship because of the great distances needed to travel to attend mass in the local church. Certain parish famalies paid to have the chapels built at the time and bear their names today. They are used every year in the Sacred Body and Blood of Christ procession in June. The chapels are maintained by the descendents of those families today and are a beautiful addition to the church and tradition of St Peter Parish.
