St. Paul Parish traces its origin to 1880 when a mission was organized at Weirton. The Phillips Sheet and Tin Plate Company, later Weirton Steel, had attracted many Catholics, including a number of Polish immigrants. SS. Peter and Paul Parish was established in 1911 for the families. Weirton Steel donated the property for the church. In 1915 the parish divided. A private home was purchased for the use of the non-Polish parishioners. On May 27, 1916, St. Paul Parish was established and designated to serve the Catholics of Weirton, Holidays Cove, Wheeling Junction, Colliers, and New Cumberland. The church was dedicated two years later. The first school was built by 1924 and staffed by the Servants of Mary. The present church was built in 1972.
