~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
St. Paul's has a rich heritage going back to 1829, when Mrs. Rachel Wetherill began hosting Bible studies in her kitchen at Mill Grove in Audubon.
In 1832, Old Union Church was completed in Audubon as a house of prayer for all Christians. In 1852, the St. Paul's was officially organized as an Episcopal Church. Through a series of events, the current church building in Oaks was completed in 1872, and consecrated in memory of The Rev'd Dr. James May, a former Rector of the parish.
The Rev'd May had died in 1863 from Typhus Fever, which he contracted while providing ministry to Union soldiers in hospitals in Philadelphia.
