Making up block 8 is Saint Peter and Paul's Catholic Church which is now over 77 years old. At the time it was built in the 1930's the only other parishes existing in Tucson were Mission San Xavier del Bac, the Cathedral (Saint Augustine), All Saints, Holy Family, and Santa Cruz.
Beautiful stained glass windows like this one over the entryway were installed under Monsignor Gramer's direction sometime after the church was built.
The steeple is prominent in the landscape from many points in our neighborhood as well as while driving down Campbell Avenue.
It's easy to get overheated and dehydrated in the hot Tucson weather, and having water available at more places seems like a good idea. The church placed a drinking fountain outside of their entry, and I have to say it was nice to be able to take a drink on my walk. I was rather thirsty at that point.
