According to early records, a little log church was built around the year 1878 by Father Fouquet, south of the present Town of Creston and near the banks of the Kootenay River. It is thought this may have been the church of the "Flat Bows" mentioned in early baptismal records and in the diaries of David Thompson. The beautiful old building Church named St. Peter's was built by Father Coccola in the later 1890's. This beautiful church on the lower Kootenay Indian Reserve, is not presently in use, but is maintained by members of the Band Council.
The little white Church was built by Father James Wagner's leadership in 1907 at the 10th Avenue was called the Holy Cross Church of Creston.
