Our Mission:

 

We are a Roman Catholic Christian Community whose mission is :


:: to worship God through the Eucharist, the Holy Scriptures and prayer

:: to proclaim the reconciling love of God in Christ by word, deed and evangelization

:: to mature spiritually through the challenge and guidance of the Holy Spirit

:: to welcome and serve others-even the littlest and the weakest-in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

Welcome! We hope to know you 
and invite you to serve with us.

Sacrament of Reconciliation
Sat. before the Vigil Mass 3 to 3:45 PM
Other times by appointment

Sacrament of Baptism
Because of the importance of the celebration of the sacrament of baptism, please consider carefully the man or woman of faith you chose to inspire and educate your child in the ways of our faith for the entirety of their lives. We suggest calling the church office during your pregnancy so that a more thorough preparation may take place. Godparents must be practicing Catholics and submit a certificate of eligibility from their parish prior to the Baptism. Baptisms will normally take place at a parish weekend Mass. Date and time will be scheduled by the pastor.


Sacrament of Matrimony

For adequate preparation, arrangements should be made at least 6 months in advance.

Sacrament of Anointing
Please let the parish office know if someone is seriously ill. If you know of anyone who is unable to get to Mass, we would be glad to help arrange transportation.

Low gluten
Those suffering from an intolerance to gluten are advised that St. Paul’s keeps Low Gluten Hosts on hand for those who need them. Simply check in with an usher to arrange for one.
