Saints Peter and Paul
Catholic Church

Before 1984, the Catholics of the Braham area were, in the words of Bishop Jerome Hanus, "like scattered sheep," traveling to parishes in other towns with no local church of their own. Sts. Peter and Paul was founded in 1984 as a new missionary effort of the Diocese of Saint Cloud, to gather those scattered faithful into one Catholic community here in Braham. Built by hand on a bean field at the edge of town, our parish brought people together. When Bishop Hanus dedicated our church in 1988, he told the parish, "The most important thing you have done is to have gathered together as a Christian community." Today Sts. Peter and Paul is once again an independent parish, growing its ministries, welcoming new families, and preparing to welcome a priest to shepherd us. Whether you are new to Braham, returning to the Church, or looking for a place to belong, you are welcome here.
