BUILD RESTORE EXTEND - �St. Paul's in Retrospect St. Paul's, in this day, influential and not unimportaut even among urban parishes, is a striking illustratio~1 of the outcome of faith first exemplified by early members of the Anglican Church in this community. As long ago as 1792, an established church service was held in this district by the Rev. Robert Addison. From 1792 to 1820 the Fort Eric communicants were dependent on missionary preachers and other pioneers to hold services in this district. Land for the church was purchased on April 2.'3rd, 1821, and the first building, a wooden structure, stood from 1821 to the 1870's when Canon Arnold headed a movement and erected a new stone church, which was destroyed by fire on March 1st, 1892. The rector, the Rev.. Percy Smith and his people builded anew, however, and builded better than before, to give us the church we love so much now. The first regularly appointed rector, Rev. John Anderson, came to Waterloo as a m1ss10nary priest in 1828, and 'was inducted as Rector of Waterloo and Bertie on May 6, 1838. St. Paul's has had only 10 rectors in the century and more of its history. These were: 1828 - 1849 1849 - 1859 Tm: HEv. HENHY HoLLAND, M.A., 18.59 -1864 THE REV. HENRY GREENHAM, 1864 - 1870 THE REV. CANON ROBERT ARNOLD, 1870 - 1888 THE REV. PERCY w. SMJTH, 1888 - 190.5 THE REV. A. CAMF.HON MACKINTOSH, 1905 - 1917 Tim lh:v. CANON HussELL SM!Tll, 1917 - 1926 Tm.: HEv.

ELL10T GRASF.TT, M .A., • .-· St. Paul's Centennial Celebration took place in April of 1922 (although the parish was actually 101 years old on that date) . The ceremonies were an important event, not only in this community bnt in the diocese, for this parish is among the oldest of them all. The celebration was the occasion too, for l h<' presentation of war and other memorials to ,the Church. St. Paul's has sprca<l its influence over th<' rars. <:hurch Schools operate very dficieutly in St. l\1ary's Hall in the north end of the parish and i11 St. James' Chapel on Dominion Road, to the south, lw:;ides one in St. Paul's H all (built in 1911) . St. James' Chapel was Erie Beach Community Sunday School, but was acquired by the Church two vears ago. It servt~s a rapidly developing area and is already being crowded. St. Paul's parish will continue to grow iu spir itual inH1 1en ce a1 1d power in the community. It is the business of the present congregation to take m~vv heart from the knowledge that God always has been, and is now, active and triumphing.
