Celebrating 175 Years in the City
In 2024, St Paul's celebrates the 175th anniversary of its founding as the first Episcopal parish in the Gold Rush settlement that was to become the city of Sacramento.
We invite you to follow along with us here and in person as we explore St. Paul's history and joyfully work to be a loving, accepting Christian community serving all people…presently and long into the future!
Plan to join us for Wide Open Doors - a day-long anniversary celebration on Satuday, Septemberf 14, eaturing tours of our buildiing and stained glass windows, muscial performances, history talk and food! Learn more here.
St. Paul's History Archives
Throughout St. Paul's 175th year, we will be sharing many of our historical documents, including photos, newspaper transcripts, compiled histories from previous milestone anniversary celebrations, and diocesan reports. This page will change throughout the year. Check back frequently to read more about us!
And please join us for worship on Sundays at 10 a.m. in our historic building at 15th and J Streets!
