| My
dear friends, I
welcome you to St. Paul Catholic Church. Our parish is a multicultural,
inclusive and welcoming community, inspired by the love of Jesus Christ,
and striving to bring all people of God together in worship.
As pastor, I am blessed to
experience God's love through the many people who are generously
involved in our parish. I see it every day in the church, in our meeting
rooms, social halls, and throughout the entire compound.
Our liturgies, the sharing
of the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist are, of
course, the highlights of our week, and I am pleased to share these most
important moments with all of you as we strengthen and fortify ourselves
with God's precious gift. I encourage you to fully participate in the
many activities of our parish; to use the time, talents and treasure God
has given you in praise and glory of His name.
I hope you will visit our
website often. If you wish to register in the parish, stop by the office
or register online
here. May God bless you and the ones you love.
Father Vic.

ST. PAUL MASTER PLAN -
OUR FIELD OF DREAMS
Our campus
expansion program is underway! Our logo appears below - look for it on
T-shirts and polo shirts worn by many parishioners at church events.

our campus expansion program. Shirts will be available for purchase.
Call the office at 381-5200.
ST. PAUL CATHOLIC CHURCH CAMPUS
EXPANSION PROGRAM
Phase I,
the parking lot expansion program, is complete. It came in on time, on
budget, and we are blessed to have been able to pay for this phase out
of our savings. This phase added 180 new parking spaces, resurfaced all
existing parking spaces and improved the pedestrian traffic flow to the
church via paved walkways.
Phase II,
the construction of our Religious Education center is next.
Registered
parishioners will continue to receive special pink collection envelopes
in the mail in which they may place donations toward the capitol funding
drive pending the launching of our official fund drive. It is hoped that
each family will use these envelopes on a monthly basis to help us reach
our financial goals for the expansion program. If you are not currently
registered but attend St. Paul Parish, we urge you to register.
