From 1832 to 1847 St. Peter-in-Chains was a mission of St. Michael's Church in Belleville. The first visiting missionary was the Reverend Michael Brennan, who offered Mass in the home of Captain J.D. Murphy. The first frame church was completed in 1833. Priests from Belleville ministered to the congregation at Trenton until the appointment of a resident pastor, the Reverend F.P. McEvay, in 1847. He served for six years and was succeeded by the Reverend P.J. Madden, D.D. In 1854 the first rectory was built.

Until 1884, a churchyard surrounded the St. Peter in Chains Roman Catholic Church on Queen Street North in Trenton. At that time it was decided that a convent should be erected on the site of the churchyard. The convent was built in 1885 when the Congregation of Notre Dame Sisters came to staff the school.

The churchyard cemetery is now abandoned and no longer on use. Stones and markers were removed and placed in Mount Calvary Cemetery.
