Although San Pedro officially did not
become a parish until 1959, it was
the first Catholic community in the
Upper Keys since early Spanish
missionaries preached to the
Callous Indians here in the
eighteenth century. The first Mass
here was celebrated on Christmas
Day, 1952, and was held in an old
school house which is now the old
wing of the Islamorada Public
Library.
The Spanish-style church itself was
dedicated in 1955, and it contains
art and artifacts from Spain and Italy.
The life-size statue of St. Peter
which graces the driveway was
carved in Italy from Carrera marble.
The bin surrounding the statue was
made from ballast from the San
Pedro, a Spanish vessel which sank
in a hurricane in 1733. It is
presumed that Archbishop Hurley,
the sixth bishop of St. Augustine,
selected St. Peter as the patron of
the parish because the search for
the wreckage of the San Pedro had
already begun.
