St. Peter of Alcantara Catholic Church

The first church building of St. Peter of Alcantara in Stanley, KY was constructed in 1873. It was located on what is now Oakford Road. In the teen years of the 1900s, a temporary church was built on the current church site, 81 Church Street.
In 1922, the present church was erected. The current church building was completely renovated in 1972. At this time, a beautiful wooden raredos was installed. This altar background still stands today.
A school existed on the church property beginning in 1952. The school closed due to declining enrollment in 1984. In 2012, this school building was demolished.
In 2009, a parish hall and church office was built on the property.
