St. Paul Catholic Church, Lexington

Saint Paul Catholic Church is another place of worship in Lexington. The building of this parish came into existence thanks to Fr. Stephen Badin and a few Catholic families who aimed to create a permanent church for their worship needs. The first chapel was built in Gothic style and until 1837 it was served by the first pastor, Fr. William Willett. After these events, it was decided a new church should be built, in Gothic Revival style, which served the people's needs between 1837 and 1868. In 1909 this church was renamed Saint Peter Parish and it was separated into 2 different parishes.
