A banner hanging in the narthex for Priesthood Sunday has photos of the eight pastors who have served St. Paul Parish in its 94-year history. On the left side of the banner is a photo of the old church and on the right a photo of the present church dedicated in 2003. The banner, which is 7 1/2 feet long and 24 inches deep, was provided by Akron Serra Club president Rudy DiDonato.
