During The Civil War, many families came to work in the new thread mills; some were Episcopalians. By the end of the war the Diocese recognized the existence of a church in Willimantic. They were meeting in various halls. In 1868 Isaac Hallam became the church’s first rector.
In 1883 the first St. Paul’s Church was erected at the present site. It was a gingerbread style church, which came in three sections from Central Village.
During the turn of the century many Syrian people joined the church, and the little church was bulging at its seams. In 1912 our present church was built.
Today St Paul’s influence is felt throughout the community by its members, who through their Christian efforts, serve in many ways. We are especially proud of sponsoring the Covenant Soup Kitchen, located in the ground floor of our church building. |
