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.

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.

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

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!
