Worship
Rooted in Christ’s Living Word and nourished by the Sacraments, worship is the foundation of our life at St. Paul Catholic Church.
Here, we encounter Christ in the Holy Mass, in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and in prayer—both personal and communal. Whether it’s through Eucharistic Adoration, praying the Rosary, joining a prayer group, or celebrating the sacraments, we are drawn deeper into the heart of God.
Empowered by the Holy Spirit and guided by the teachings of Christ and His Church, we are a community of committed disciples. Worship revitalizes our faith, renews our hope, and sends us forth to strengthen the Body of Christ through a life of prayer, fellowship, sacrificial love, and service.
There are many ways to participate—through prayer, presence, or service. Come worship with us and grow in your relationship with the Lord. Questions? Email welcome@spccnb.org or call 252-638-1984 for more information.
At Saint Paul, we celebrate the Mass every day of the week! We also have several opportunities for Adoration and Confession. You can find all the details here.
Sacraments are an outward sign of inward Grace - the work of the Holy Spirit in his Church! We are honored to help prepare you for these important moments in your spiritual life. You can find details here.
Join us for one of our many prayer groups to sustain you throughout the week. Each group meets at Saint Joseph Chapel behind the fireplace in the Narthex unless conveyed otherwise. You can find all the details here.
Altar serving is a beautiful way to participate in the celebration of the Mass. Altar servers are respectful and reverent assistants who take honor in serving the Lord at Mass. Boys and girls, 4th grade and up, are eligible to participate as altar servers. They may continue to serve through high school and later. After completion of training sessions, which are required and offered periodically throughout the year, they serve at Sunday Masses and at special liturgies, as well as at weddings and funerals.
Sign up here.
Lectors
Lectors proclaim the Word of God by reading Scripture at Mass. Being a reader nourishes one’s personal and spiritual growth as well as promotes a keen awareness of the sacredness of the Mass. The gift needed for this ministry is an ease speaking before large groups in a clear, distinct voice. This week's schedule is available here.
