Crecora church was built in 1864, and is dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul. There is a stained glass window of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to the left of the altar, which is to the memory of J. Tierney, C.C. To the right of the altar, there is a stained glass window of the Assumption of the Blessed Lady, which was a gift from the Parishioners to Dean Punch, P.P. 1936 - 1970.
