The St. Paul Catholic Church Collection includes materials from the Church's archive. The Roman Catholic church is over 150 years old, and is located on West Short Street, in downtown Lexington.
St. Paul the Apostle Roman Catholic Church was formally created in the Covington Diocese in 1868, by Father John Bekkers. Still an active parish, the church has celebrated its 150th anniversary and is still in its original building in downtown Lexington.
The St. Paul Community Collection contains a variety of items from the church's historical archive. It contains multiple church directories, event pamphlets, scattered weekly bulletins from the 1950s and 1960s, photographs of pastors and events, and some of the original ledgers with parish baptisms and marriages.
