 Mount Saint Peter Church was magnificent and rose up on the hill , but to many , it seemed as if it could not really belong to the congregation . It was much richer than Saint Peter Church and if it had not been labored upon by so many members of the congregation , none would have felt worthy to call it their parish . But since so much work , love , and faith had been spent on this place of worship , parishioners became proud to have the honor of attending Mass there every Sunday . As a construction site , it had held some dangers . On September 28 , 1941 , a group of teenage boys , just out of high school , were making concrete flooring for the church at the Burrell Construction Company . A large crane operating above them made an unusual movement , causing its bucket , which weighed several tons , to come down with a huge crash right in their midst . All the working tools were completely destroyed but none of the boys were hurt . The bronze door at the front entrance fell on a worker , and everyone believed he had been crushed to death . When ten men lifted the door , they found the worker unharmed underneath it . In another case , an 18 @-@ year @-@ old was assigned a job on the tower of the church before it was roofed . No one realized that he had poor eyesight and he fell from the tower while working . On his way down , he was able to grab onto a pulley that was suspended from the tower .
