Evangelization
Education & Formation
Rooted in Christ’s Living Word and nourished by the Sacraments, our mission is to revitalize the faith and hope of our parish community—and that begins with evangelization and formation.
At Saint Paul, we believe evangelization starts at home and continues wherever the Lord leads us. Guided by the Holy Spirit and the teachings of Christ and His Church, we offer faith formation for all ages to equip and empower committed disciples. Keep an eye out for more offerings soon, as we grow in prayer, deepen fellowship, and are sent forth to share the joy of the Gospel.
Whether you feel called to serve or simply want to take the next step in your faith journey, we’re here to help you get connected. Questions? Hungry for more? Email welcome@spccnb.org or call 252-638-1984 for more information.

Troops of Saint George
The Troops of Saint George apostolate aims to use the outdoors as our canvas and the sacraments as our path to light the way for the formation of Holy Catholic men and boys. Whether called to the vocation of the priesthood, the religious life, or that of Holy fatherhood, our fathers and sons will take a prayerful pilgrimage together to fulfill Christ's desire for them to grow in virtue and in their Holy Catholic faith as they journey toward heaven.

Men's Faith & Fellowship Opportunities
Looking to grow in your faith while building friendships with other Catholic men? St. Paul offers several opportunities for men to deepen their relationship with Christ and one another.
Saturday Morning Men's Bible Study
Every Saturday men from the St. Paul community gather to study and discuss the Bible in a welcoming and encouraging environment. It's a wonderful opportunity to grow in your faith and bring the richness of Scripture into your home. We meet in the Conference Room every Saturday from 6:30-8:00 a.m. For more information, contact Edward Martinez at 678-315-8550 or mdej55@gmail.com—or simply stop by!
Friday Evening Men's Faith and Fellowship
Join us on Fridays at 7:00 p.m. in the Conference Room as we journey through the Gospel of Matthew, covering one or two chapters each week. Meetings last about one hour and are open to all men seeking to grow in faith and fellowship. Contact Deacon Dan at ddoban@spccnb.org for more information.
Rucking Rosary
Men are invited to participate in Ruck & Rosary on the last Saturday of every month. Grow in fraternity while praying the Rosary together during a morning ruck. For details, contact Bobby Dawson at 252-571-2955 or Robert.J.Dawson02@gmail.com
She Shall Be Called Woman
We invite all women to join us as we grow in faith and fellowship, reflecting on the beauty of authentic femininity through the example of Our Lady. Together, we explore virtues such as trust, humility, courage, and love, deepening our relationship with Christ through prayer and meaningful discussion.
We meet most Tuesdays at 7:00 PM in the FLC, and all women are welcome. Those who participated last season are already registered—no need to sign up again!
