== Brief History ==
Saint Paul Parish was founded in 1963, by order of the Bishop, made up of parishoners (congregation members) of Sacred Heart Church (now Cathedral). The ground-breaking of what is now referred to as the "Old Church" Spartan Hall occurred on March 8, 1964 (Laetare Sunday) by The Rev. Fr. Frank Giri (for whom one of the current gathering rooms was named). On January 10, 1965, Spartan Hall, the "Old Church", school, and old rectory were blessed by Archbishop Thomas J. Toolen.
In 1964, Saint Paul Catholic School (K-8) was founded by the parish. In order to help start the school, Fr. Giri requested help from various holy orders that specialized in education, finally recieving help from the Sisters of Saint Francis of the Convent of Our Lady of the Angels in Pennsylvania. The school's first 8th grade class graduated in 1966.
