t. Peter Catholic SChurch, located on DeWald Street, Fort Wayne, was founded in the year 1871 and remains a FATHER TYRELL spiritual beacon of faith on the ALLES city’s southeast side nearly a century and a half later. The church was established for the benefit of German- speaking Catholics living south of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and was originally a 40-by- 70-foot structure that also housed a school. It was built by the first pastor, Father John Wemhoff, on a piece of property running from Hanna to Warsaw streets and from Saint Martins to East DeWald streets. The area eventually became known as St. Peter’s Square. Two decades later, as the parish expanded, then-pastor Father A. Messman oversaw the construction of the imposing Gothic structure that dominates that site today. A separate school building was completed in June of 1905,
