Church Videography

Golden Agers Café
Visit the Café in the Spiritual Center for a light lunch of sandwiches, salads and desserts after
the First Friday Mass each month. Café hours are 12:45pm - 2pm.
|
Hospitality/Funeral Receptions
The Hospitality Ministry provides coffee and donuts after the 8:30 am and 10:00 am Masses every second
Sunday of the month. The coffees are held in the Church Hall immediately following Mass.
The intention is to give our parishioners the opportunity to meet one another through these
social receptions and perhaps to foster friendships and fellowship. The members of the Hospitality
Committee are also called upon occasionally to set up refreshments at other parish events.
Coffee and donut receptions are also offered following any funeral held in our church, to provide comfort
and fellowship for those who have come from far or near to attend a funeral Mass. The receptions
are also held in the Hall of the Church.

Little Hearts
Little Hearts is a club for parents with newborns, toddlers and preschoolers and is a great way to meet
and talk with other parents from the parish. The club meets every Thursday from 9:30-11am in the Parish
Center.

Picnic Committee/Social Events
Pivotal to the communal life of the Church of Saint Paul are the various opportunities for social
interaction and relationship-building events which promote the well-being and energy of our parish
families like the annual Parish Picnic. Responsibilities include organization of events, publicity,
setup and cleanup. All talents and interests are welcome from individuals who enjoy promoting
spirit and fun in our community.

Uganda
In November of 2002, the Church of Saint Paul was privileged to twin, through the Diocese of Trenton, with the
parish of Our Lady of Lourdes in Nakasongola, Uganda.
This twinning effort is intended to provide Our Lady of Lourdes parish, one of the poorest in the
Diocese of Kasana-Luweero, with the material human resources needed for their growth as a vibrant
Catholic community and in turn, allow our community to receive the spiritual benefit of their prayerful
relationship with us.

Welcome of New Parishioners
St. Paul’s is a community which continues to grow in number and spirit. When someone joins our parish
family, we want them to know how delighted we are, and so we sponsor New Parishioner Wine ‘n’ Cheese
Receptions every other month. Receptions are always held on Saturday after the 5:30 pm vigil Mass.
The receptions have several purposes: they allow new parishioners to pick up needed registration materials,
to have questions answered by staff, to meet other newcomers as well as some of the priests and pastoral
staff at St. Paul’s, and to find out more about some of the ministries and groups which our parish sponsors.
If you have a knack for making people feel welcome, if you like planning social gatherings, if you would like to
share your enthusiasm for our parish with newcomers to our area, consider helping with this ministry.
