St. Paul Catholic Church & School

We continue to move forward with plans for establishing a post-COVID-19 normal in our parishes. Nearly all of my decisions on this topic are an attempt to adhere to Bishop Doherty's decree laying out a roadmap for re-opening. In Church language, a decree indicates a specific direction from a superior to a subject that is to be obeyed. Every priest promises obedience at his ordination to the bishop ordaining him and that bishop's successors. In the Catholic Church, a pastor is primarily in sales, not management.

We have been going through a lot of transitions during the time that the offices have been closed! Maria Esparza, the parish secretary and coordinator of our Hispanic Apostolate resigned to pursue other career options. We are excited to welcome Elise Winegardner as parish receptionist. Elise has experience as a receptionist in a doctor's office that will help to make our parish office both more efficient and user-friendly. We continue to look for part-time bilingual office help to coordinate work with the Hispanic community.
