Continued from our home page... Steadily growing for the next two decades, the Rev. Victor Rivera, a man of great energy and drive, assumed the rectorship in April of 1945.  The church moved strongly forward with the purchase of two lots near Main Street.  In 1948 work began on the present church building. On September 11, 1949 the Rt. Rev. Sumner Walters, first bishop of the Dioceses of San Joaquin, dedicate the new structure, the red brick church on Center and Hall Streets.  The architecture followed the general pattern common to many village churches in England.  A new administrative wing and patio was completed in 1953. Father Rivera was elected Bishop of San Joaquin in 1968.  The Rev. Stanley Sinclair became rector from 1968 to 1972.  The Rev. Donald Cole became the new rector of the parish in 1973 and was an inspiring and loving priest.  He left St. Paul's in June of 1989 to become Dean of St. Michael's Cathedral in Boise, Idaho. The first stained glass windows were ready for installation before the church was built.  The later addition of the altar windows further enhanced the beauty and wonder of our red brick church.  In 1989 a new, free standing alter was dedicated by the Rt. Rev. John-David Schofield, who upon the retirement of Bishop Victor Rivera, became our present day bishop of the Dioceses of San Joaquin.
