Hello, The Roman Catholic Diocese of Scranton was established in 1868 and the main RC church there at that time was called St. Vincent dePaul. This church was renamed Cathedral of St. Peter in 1868 and was the main church for many years. The address is 315 Wyoming Ave. My grandmother was baptized there in 1877. Catholics walked long distances to attend mass as there were so few churches. Although I couldn't find a history of St. Paul's Church I believe it was establised in the 1890s. The grandmother who was baptized at the Cathedral was married at St. Paul's in 1900.
