Mission statement
We, the Christian community of
St. Paul, are committed to serving
the Lord and His people through
witnessing and stewardship of time,
talent and treasure, and, rooted in
the Word and Tradition, are focused
on encountering Him in the Breaking
of the Bread.
He broke it and said,
“This is My body, which
is for you; do this in re-
membrance of Me….”
1 Cor. 11:23
“When he was at the table with them, he
took the bread and blessed it, and broke it,
and gave it to them. And their eyes were
opened and they recognized him.... “
Luke 24:30-31
Saint Paul Church is the house of our
Heavenly Father, a place of solace and grace, so please feel at home here.
REMAIN IN THE CHURCH after Mass for some personal quiet moments with
Jesus, OR EXIT QUIETLY to the vestibule
or outdoors for fellowship and sharing. Whether you are
a registered parishioner, new to our community, or a
visitor—WELCOME!
