Although at first Beloit's Italian-speaking Catholic families were parishioners at St. Thomas Catholic Church, they later formed their own St. Paul's Catholic Church and dedicated their church building in 1914. Miss Alice Broder, a prominent Beloit woman, donated a large sum of money for the church. The church was then named after the name saint of her brother Paul.
