Church Construction Cost Breakdown

St. Paul Church – called city's 'most beautiful' – marks centennial

Jim Woods, a St. Paul parishioner and historian, wrote a comprehensive accounting of the well-known Noe Valley faith community five years ago. More recently, he focused on the construction and history of the hallowed St. Paul Church generously donating his research for use in this report. Woods and his wife, Kate, were married in St. Paul Church in 1992. St. Paul Parish began as a mission in 1876 and was made a parish in 1880. Before St. Paul Church was built, Catholics traveled to Mission District neighbor, St. Peter Church, for Mass and special occasions. “It was a difficult trip on good days and a perilous one when the rains fell and the many creeks that lined the valley overflowed their banks,” Woods said. “Father Connolly’s half-built church emerged undamaged from the 1906 earthquake,” Woods writes. The fire did not reach St. Paul’s Parish, but the earthquake did damage the old church. Parish tradition is unanimous in asserting that the pastor mobilized his parishioners to haul cobble stones and rubble up Church Street to complete St. Paul’s. Some say that there are many parts of the old City hall in today’s church.” Parish musicians are looking forward to the May 29 Mass. “The music was chosen by a committee to reflect the power and guidance of God who has sustained this parish community throughout the years and to help celebrate 100 years of worship in this building,” said Mark Tomsic, music director. Margaret Anne Kerns, who grew up in St. Paul’s and currently serves as music director at Holy Angels Parish in Colma, is among the participating musicians.
