"The current St. Paul's church, built of vitrified brick and Bedford stone trim, replaced an earlier stone structure that served the parish from 1855 to 1910. The old church proved inadequate following an influx of Italian and Czech immigrants, attracted to the booming zinc mining industry. For most of the parishes' history, priests of Irish descent served at St. Paul's while priests of German descent served at St. Mary's. Faced with a dwindling number of priests, the parishes united in 1978." [I] |
