Sts. Peter and Paul is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Lafayette in Indiana, located in Goodland, a small community in Newton County, Indiana. The parish is dedicated jointly to Saint Peter and Saint Paul, the two great apostolic pillars of the early Church, whose shared feast day on June 29 is among the oldest observances in the Christian calendar.

According to available diocesan records, the parish traces its origins to 1880, making it one of the older Catholic communities established in this rural section of northwestern Indiana. As with many small-town parishes of the period, Sts. Peter and Paul was founded to serve Catholic families settling and farming in Newton County during the late nineteenth century.

Today the parish continues to serve the Goodland area as part of the territorial structure of the Diocese of Lafayette in Indiana, maintaining the sacramental and community life typical of small rural Catholic parishes.
