These are the very same reasons that you should come and join us here at Saint Paul! We may be a small Parish Family but that does not stop us from living out the words printed above.
Saint Paul is a parish steeped in history yet living in the 21st century. Our lives together are nourished by the Word of God in the Scriptures and the Bread of Life at the Table of the Lord.
Our Mission is:
“Together Building the Kingdom of God” and we do that in so many ways – prayer, preaching, Christian Formation, social interaction, outreach ministry, etc.
If you are a member of Saint Paul, we hope that you find this web site useful and helpful to keep up-to-date with what is going on in the parish.
If you are not a member, we hope that our web site will entice you to come and pray with us and find out what really makes Saint Paul such a great place - it's warm and loving people – all brothers and sisters on a common pilgrimage to the fullness of the Kingdom of God. If you are searching for a church, we hope that you will join us on our faith journey. All are invited! All are welcome! All are expected!
If you have a pastoral need, whether or not you are a member of Saint Paul, do not hesitate to contact us and let us help you in any way that we can.
If you would like the Rector to visit you, or would like a home communion / visit please call us and let us know. If you or a loved one are in the hospital, please call us so that we can come and pray with you or your loved one.
We welcome comments and feedback on our web site. If you have suggestions for parish activities or programs, please let us know. You may contact the Rector, Father Patrick directly at his e-mail: jpp001@earthlink.net
