TEXAS STATE HISTORICAL
MARKER
The longevity
of St. Peter's Episcopal Church made it a candidate for the Texas State
Historical Marker Program, and in 1991, a historical marker of bronze
casting was produced and planted on site in front of the Church. The historical
note on the marker reads:
St. Peter's Episcopal
Church
The Rt. Rev. Alexander Gregg, Bishop of the Diocese of Texas, officiated
at the dedication of St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Rockport on November
30, 1871. Led by lay ministers for much of its early history, St. Peter's
first was located at the corner of Live Oak and Wharf Streets near the
railroad depot, where services often were halted due to the noise of arriving
trains. Relocated to this site in 1954, St. Peter's became a self-sustaining
parish ten years later. It continues to serve the community with a variety
of programs.
