St. Peter's Catholic Church — Attraction in Lindsay

Open 7 days a week from 7am to sundown, we stopped here on a Friday afternoon with no one but the maintenance guy Leon outside watering plants. He was kind enough to give us a tour of the church and grounds and give us some history. It's a very uniquely painted church which was completely repainted four years ago (took 2.5 years) so it's very vibrant inside. The stained glass is just gorgeous too!

There's also little chapels around the grounds built by some of the founding members of the church and which are cared for by family now. A very unique experience and easy to find right...

This beautiful German Painted Church sits atop a gentle hill in the pastoral setting of Lindsay, Texas. Only about an hour and a half from Fort Worth, it is a prime example of the craftsmanship of the settlers some one hundred years before.

Great day trip...
