I welcome you to St. Paul Catholic Church. Our parish is a multicultural, inclusive and welcoming community, inspired by the love of Jesus Christ, and striving to bring all people of God together in worship.

As pastor, I am blessed to experience God's love through the many people who are generously involved in our parish. I see it every day in the church, in our meeting rooms, social halls, and throughout the entire compound.

Our liturgies, the sharing of the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist are, of course, the highlights of our week, and I am pleased to share these most important moments with all of you as we strengthen and fortify ourselves with God's precious gift. I encourage you to fully participate in the many activities of our parish; to use the time, talents and treasure God has given you in praise and glory of His name.

I hope you will visit our website often. If you wish to register in the parish, stop by the office or register online here. May God bless you and the ones you love.

Father Vic.
