Three churches [ St. Paul's, St.Ann's, Trinity ] and there are zero videos acknowledging or showing their significance in the region? Not a video giving a tour to show the beautiful architecture and stained glass panels? This is definitely curious and worth exploring in 2025 with some discussions with Father Craig O'Brien who is the brother of Peter O'Brien of King's College Halifax Nova Scotia.
The Church does have a Facebook page that has videos but not everyone uses the odious platform well known for its censorship abuses online.

"Heritage Value
St. Paul’s Anglican Church is designated a Local Historic Place for its architecture and for its association with Bishop John Medley.
St. Paul’s Anglican Church is significant in Sackville for its distinctive Gothic Revival style architecture. It was built in 1856 as Sackville was fast becoming the centre of activity in the parish. It was opened in October 1857 and consecrated in October 1858 by Bishop John Medley. It was the first church, after Christ Church Cathedral in Fredericton, to be built according to plans submitted by Bishop Medley.
St. Paul’s Anglican Church is associated with over one hundred churches that Bishop Medley had been involved with either in construction or renovation. His interest in Gothic Revival architecture, recreating a medieval stone building in New Brunswick wood and his desire to see the church maintain a visible presence in the midst of an evolving society are well seen in the building and its location.
