Early German and Dutch settlers came to Loretto and built the first church at this location in 1867, an old log church called The Saints Peter and Paul Church Community. In 1903, a new church was built, and the structure still stands here today. The old church location is in the middle of the "old" cemetery, while the western part is now called the "new" cemetery.
