St. Peter and Paul Church, Goodland

A year or two ago the Diocese of Lafayette in Indiana combined many of its parishes into groups called pastorates.  The Saint Augustine parish in Rensselaer was combined with the The Sacred Heart of Jesus parish in Remington and the Saints Peter and Paul parish in Goodland to form the St. Michael the Archangel pastorate. One priest serves all three parishes. The church building in Remington had a fire and the repairing of the building is not yet complete, so Sunday services are currently held in Goodland and Rensselaer. 

I visited the church recently and took some pictures. St. Peter and Paul looks like hundreds of other small Catholic churchs in America. It was built in 1902.

 Below is a look at the inside.

The altar piece is ornate with large statues of the Holy Family flanked by Sts. Peter and Paul. 

Few churches have stations of the Cross as large as these.

The stained-glass windows are rather plain but do let in a lot of light.

The parish is the smallest of the three in the pastorate.

Hope you had a Merry Christmas.
