St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Anglican church building in West End district, Vancouver, Canada.
St. Paul's Anglican Church is a Gothic Revival structure in Vancouver's West End featuring pointed-arch windows and ornate stained glass depicting biblical scenes. The interior follows a traditional layout with a chancel where services are held.
The church was founded in 1889 as a daughter parish of St. James Anglican Church and relocated to its current location in 1898 to serve the growing neighborhood. This move allowed the parish to become established in the West End.
The church serves as a living center for Anglican worship and community gatherings in the neighborhood. Visitors can experience the active religious practice and traditions that continue to shape the parish life.
The church is accessible by bus and located along a major transit route in the neighborhood. Visitors should note that the building primarily serves religious functions, so visiting outside of scheduled services may require planning.
The parish hall houses a special feature: a permanent indoor labyrinth modeled after the Chartres Cathedral design. This labyrinth remains in use today for meditation and reflection.
