Church of Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic

Church of Sts. Peter and Paul—Catholic is a historic church building on State Street in Gilman, Minnesota, United States. It was built in 1930 to serve a Polish-American congregation and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The first church was a log structure in 1872. It was known as the church of St. Wenselaus. Then a new church was built in the 1880s and was a frame structure known as St. Casimir's Church. The old log church was converted into classrooms. A new school building was built in 1909 and is present today. St. Casimir's church was destroyed by fire in 1891. A new and larger frame building was constructed for the new church. This church building stood north of the present brick building. Fr. Vincent Wotzka as pastor had a brick rectory built in 1924. Sometime during these early years, the name of the parish was changed to SS. Peter and Paul. No reason has been found for the change.
