St. Paul's is one of the oldest Anglican churches in the Calgary Diocese, having been built in 1885. It was originally known as St. Paul's Fish Creek, and is located on the east side of the Macleod Trail at 14620 Macleod Trail S.E. It was built by Anglican parishioners on land donated by that renowned Midnapore pioneer, John Glenn, who was the first white settler along Fish Creek. He was also a staunch Roman Catholic. The church's steeply pitched roof and cruciform plan was modeled after the much larger Anglican Church of the Redeemer built in Calgary in 1884. St. Paul's was constructed under the auspices of the Midnapore Church of England Society, and the first service was held in September, 1885. The Reverend E. Paske Smith was the first minister, and he continued serving the growing congregation until 1888.
