Dear Saint Paul Parishoners:
I think you would agree that the coronavirus pandemic has affected us in ways we could never have imagined, not the least of which has been a radical departure from how we typically engage in our life of Faith. While we have had to find different ways to stay close to Christ and to one another, one thing has not changed and never will: Christ is always with us. He never abandons us. I am so proud to be the pastor of Saint Paul! During this most challenging time, our parish came together to pray and to serve. We found ways to continue many of our ministries in a virtual setting, made calls to parishioners and sent cards to the homebound, received generous donations in offertory, opened the School with caution and with confidence — all while facing weeks without Mass and finding new and creative ways to come together for Mass in our Sanctuary. I am in awe of the generosity and faithfulness of the parish community of Saint Paul, and I thank you! Many of you have given generously via electronic giving or by sending money directly to the parish, and I am very grateful. Like most Catholic parishes, we rely on the offertory collection to fulfill the Church’s mission of spreading the Gospel and caring for those in need. That is, we rely on you! We also have the reality, like many organizations, of paying bills, maintaining infrastructure, and running essential programs. Without your participation and generosity, it would be impossible for us to fulfill our mission, which is needed now more than ever. With all of this in mind, I invite you to join our parish community by responding to our “Dynamic Saint Paul: Funding our Third Century” Program. We ask all parish family members to decide on a prayerful sacrifice to benefit the parish’s future. I ask that you please review this brochure and prayerfully consider how you and your family can help Saint Paul by financially supporting our ministries, furthering our mission, and reinforcing our strength together. Thank you for your generosity, prayers, and commitment to Saint Paul Catholic Church!
Peace, in Christ, Father Thomas S. Tully.

Our big effort now is to get EVERYONE to send in a Commitment Card for the "Funding our Third Century" campaign. The financial promise made by your considered and sacrificial commitment will allow the Finance Council and the Pastoral Council to aim for the future. We will build up the parish this coming year and plan new initiatives that will strengthen us to accomplish our mission: the care of souls!
It is IMPERATIVE that we reach out to all those who are parishoners interested in the figure life of the parish but not yet returning to Mass. We will do this by use of this website, our bulletin and our Facebook. If you are still "remote" we need you!
