Van Antwerp left the parish in 1867. In 1878 an attempt was made to reopen the school, but little success met this endeavor. In 1899, under the guidance of Mrs. Nannie Geffroy and the Rev. Thomas P. Noe, then Rector, St. Paul's School reopened. The school operated continuously until 1939, in 1951 a rectory, now used as the Parish Office building, was built upon the site of the school. The parish house is on the site of the school's old dormitory and dining hall.
History is a matter of perception.
It contains our worst assumptions and our truest truths - any time we come in contact with it we are changed. The many gifts of the people of faith who have built up this community in the past have provided a strong foundation for a vital parish of the future.
