St PAUL CATHOLIC CEMETERY, Westport
T16N R11W Section 19

Westport's first full-time priest built a house of worship
out of his own savings, on donated land. St. Paul Chapel 
is a mission of St. Mary Parish in Aberdeen, although Fr. 
Quick had hoped for his chapel to be an independent parish. 
Started when he was a young 70 years and completed four years 
later, St. Paul's has, just outside the chapel, a small, 
wrought-iron enclosed cemetery only meant to house this one 
man with a dream come true. The cemetery was opened and 
consecrated for only this one burial, and was then 
permanently closed.


Reverend William G. Quick
1896 - 1986
Ordained Priest 1934
Erected this church 1974

The Lord is my Shepherd
