Stephen St. Jules }} The Cathedral of Saint Peter is the mother church of the Catholic Diocese of Rockford.[1] It is the third church to serve the diocese as its cathedral. HistoryThe parish had its beginnings with the establishment of St. William's chapel in 1915.[2] It was established as a mission of St. Mary's parish downtown. Property on the summit of Council Hill, also known as Piety Hill, was purchased in 1920 for a new parish. A combination church and school was built on Court Street beginning in 1921. The cornerstone for the present church was blessed by Bishop Loras Lane in August 1958 and it was dedicated on May 15, 1960. Bishop Arthur O'Neill designated St. Peter's as the diocesan cathedral on October 11, 1970. St. James on North Second Street in Rockford had been the pro-cathedral from the foundation of the diocese in 1908 until 1963.[3] Holy Family then served as the cathedral until St. Peter's replaced it.[4] O'Neill formally consecrated St. Peter's on October 11, 1978. The present altar was consecrated by Cardinal Francis George of Chicago on September 29, 1998. Pipe organSt. Peter's houses a 1978 Wicks Organ Company pipe organ, Opus 5706. It is located in the rear gallery of the cathedral. Some of the pipes are exposed in the large case that frames a rose window. The organ features 5 divisions, 45 stops, 47 ranks and 2,707 pipes. The manual compass is 61 notes and the pedal compass is 32 notes.[5] See also
