History Biographical: 

St. Paul's Anglican Church (Thunder Bay, Ont.) is a church in the two point parish of St. Paul's Anglican Parish (Thunder Bay, Ont.). 

The church was opened for worship on April 26, 1908 by Archbishop Thorneloe. St. Paul's large and ornate building was started by a group of laymen in the Fort William area and was made with local brick and sandstone in the style of the English gothic.

On December 15, 1942 the mortgage was paid, and additions to the church continued. In 1960 the tower which was part of the original design for St. Paul's was completed and blessed by the Archbishop on October 25 of that year. The tower featured a clock with six-foot faces.

On July 29, 1967 the church held a rededication of the Cornerstone and Garden Party in celebration of 60 years. Work on the church continued, and in 1968 the basement, side entrances and stairways, kitchen, and various other small aspects were renovated.

On January 24, 1969 the Babe Memorial Hall was dedicated in honour of Fred Babe, a parishioner who left the remainder of his estate to the church and Diocese.
