St. Peter Catholic Church

About this church

St. Peter Catholic Church offers Jefferson City a substantial Mass schedule in a historic downtown setting. Weekend liturgies are Saturday at 4:30 p.m. and Sunday at 8:00 and 10:00 a.m., with a noon Mass celebrated in Spanish. Weekday Mass is offered at 12:03 p.m. Monday through Friday, with additional 8:00 a.m. Masses Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. That combination gives parishioners and visitors options before work, over lunch, and throughout the weekend, while the Spanish Sunday liturgy serves the area's bilingual Catholic community.

The parish's roots reach to the 1830s, when Catholic clergy began serving the young capital city; a historical account records nine parish families in 1838. The present church hosted its first Mass on February 2, 1883, and was formally dedicated that August. A 2002 interior renewal drew on historical photographs so earlier decorative details could be reflected in the restored space. Alongside sacramental life, St. Peter supports religious education through its Parish School of Religion. Visitors comparing Catholic parishes will find both a carefully documented local history and one of the more flexible weekly Mass schedules in central Jefferson City.
