Episcopal church marks 175 years

From Toledo-

Deeply rooted in the history of northwest Ohio, St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Maumee has reached out to people in need since the 1800s.

Members in 1860 donated $2.25 for Kansas famine sufferers, in 1862 gave $3.50 for tracts and books for soldiers, and in 1906 gave $12.79 for earthquake victims in California.

Last week, among other St. Paul's programs that assist people in need, the church opened its doors to house and feed the homeless.

"Outreach to the community is the DNA of our congregation," the Rev. J. Paul Board, the church's rector, said.
