It all started when…
The first services that led to the establishment of a mission in Groton, known as St. Paul's, were held by the Rev. R.M. Duff, of St. James Church in New London on the Wednesday evenings in Lent, 1874. Regular afternoon services were held until October of the same year at which time the Rev. Milledge Walker (18th Sunday Trinity to Lent 1876) was appointed in charge of the mission.
