The Rev. Brian Wilbert, the Diocese of Ohio archivist and recently retired rector of Christ Episcopal Church in Oberlin, will be our guest for a special service at St. Paul’s on March 8. Father Wilbert will preach a historical sermon and the service will be followed by a coffee hour with a deeper-dive into the history of St. Paul’s and of the Diocese. The event comes on the anniversary weekend of St. Paul’s first service on March 7, 1869.

Please join the St. Paul’s family and the Right Rev. Mark Hollingsworth Jr., bishop of the Diocese of Ohio, on March 22 for our final celebration of our first 150 years serving downtown Canton and the broader Stark County community. The bishop will preside over our 10:30 service, which will be followed by a catered lunch. His visit will highlight the final event of the 150th anniversary as the first Episcopal Church in Stark County. Please remember to turn in your reservation for the luncheon.
