Welcome to Holmes County!

The Catholic Community of Holmes County is pleased to welcome you to Ohio's Amish Country. Did you know that Holmes County is the most-visited tourist attraction in Ohio? We holpe you will enjoy the scenic beauty of our countryside while visiting the many attractions and shops our area has to offer. . . and that you will find in us an oasis to quench your spiritual thirst. Catholics make up a tiny percentage of the local population, but we're pleased to offer the face of the Church to you and to the rest of our community.

The Sanctuary Cross at St. Peter was hand-carved by our 21st Pastor, Fr. Michael Wellnitz, who served the Parish from 1972 until his retirement in 1982.

Each Good Friday, the Corpus is removed and this Cross is used in the Veneration of the Cross. Fr. Mike also carved the Stations of the Cross for both St. Peter, Millersburg and SS. Peter & Paul, Glenmont.

While you are here, please make us your spiritual home away from home: we invite you to join us for Eucharist anytime you are able. Throughout the year we offer many special surprises and we are always happy to welcome our visitors, whether it be to our Thanksgiving Dinner in November, our MardiGras Party at the beginning of Lent, our Pancake and Sausage Breakfasts, our Pork and Sauerkraut or Spaghetti Dinners, Ice Cream Socials or Soup Suppers or Movie Nights or Family Fun Afternoons, or just Coffee and Doughnuts -- and continued fellowship -- after Sunday Mass! We hope that the love aned beauty you experience here will lead you to kepp us in your hearts and in your prayer -- and to remember us fondly in the future
