1974

In 1974 St. Timothy’s in Tappahannock became its own parish with St. Paul’s as its mission.

Then in 1974 the Richmond Diocese itself was divided and the Diocese of Arlington was formed. The entire Northern Neck now fell under the jurisdiction of Arlington. But for a time, this resulted in an anomaly, since St. Timothy’s (in Tappahannock) was in the Richmond Diocese but its mission, St. Paul’s (in Hague) was in the newly formed Arlington Diocese.
