From the website of St. Mary's of the Assumption Catholic Church in part:
"Rev. Richard Paul Kane was ordained and sent to St. Mary's in 1899. Fr. Kane started St. Mary's mission church, St. Paul in Cardiff, Maryland. The need for a mission church arose with the bringing of electrical equipment to the slate quarries employing many operators of the Catholic faith who had no means of transportation to St. Mary's Church. On September 10, 1905 Cardinal Gibbons officiated as St. Paul's was opened and dedicated. In June 1967 St. Paul's church was closed because it was determined that the building was unsafe by the Archdiocesan builder inspector."
