Multi-Cultural Events Ministry

The Multi-Cultural Events Ministry of St. Paul Parish comes together to promote awareness of our cultural diversity and to celebrate our ethnic heritage. St. Paul Catholic Church is blessed to have a rich multi-cultural history. We promote our diversity through various collaborative events. This Ministry was formed based on two Synod Pastoral Initiatives:

Synod Initiative #3: Collaborative Ministry and Shared Responsibility

Synod Initiative #8: Cultural Diversity

Through our Ministry we promote understanding of our diverse cultures, promote community-building and encourage cooperative participation.

To volunteer to join our Ministry call Guily Fontillas, Chairman, at 916-362-7541, or call the rectory office at 916-381-5200.

Pancake Breakfasts

St. Paul parishioners gather in the parish hall after the 9:00 am Mass on the first Sunday of each month for a pancake breakfast sponsored by the Knights of Columbus Council 6922.  Join us to share in our fun, food, and friendship.

It takes a lot of work and dedication to plan, prepare, set up and cook for these breakfasts, and the Social Ministry does a masterful job every month. Volunteers are always needed and welcomed with open arms.

This is a wonderful way to participate in our parish family - all are welcome.

For additional information call Norv Latreille (916) 363-0365 or Hank Morrow (916) 682-3971 or call the rectory at (916) 381-5200.
