In August 1940, Joseph Patrick Hurley was appointed the sixth Bishop of St. Augustine, Florida, by Pope Pius XII. Bishop Hurley was tasked with building the Catholic Church in Florida. At the time, there were about two million people in Florida, of which some 60,000 were Roman Catholics.Bishop Hurley was known to climb into a small plane, fly over vast tracts of undeveloped Florida, then point out where he wanted new parishes established. On land he’d identify sites from the seat of a Pontiac, which he drove back and forth, and up and down the state.In all, Hurley established about 100 parishes. One was created on a 15-acre site at mile marker 89.5 on Plantation Key, south of Key Largo, in the Florida Keys. This is our San Pedro Catholic Church.
