Festschrift zum Fünfzig-jahrigen Jubiläum, 1868-1918


St. Peter's Evangelical Lutheran Church Photograph, 1865 in Skokie Public Library Digital Collections

The Festschrift zum Fünfzig-jahrigen Jubiläum is a commemorative publication celebrating the 50th anniversary of St. Peter's Evangelical Lutheran Church in 1918. This illustrated booklet, written primarily in German, presents the history of the church, from the original 1857 group in Niles Township to the formal establishment of the congregation in 1867.

Both the images of the original pages of the Festschrift and the corresponding English-language translation are presented here.

The congregation of St Peter's United Church of Christ now worships in the church building built in 1904 at 8013 Laramie Avenue in Skokie, Illinois.
