In our gospel today, there are two values that Jesus wants us to hold in our hearts and practice in our daily lives: love and hospitality. They compliment each other: love enables hospitality to be loving; while hospitality makes love hospitable! Both bring harmony in our life and convey trust in our relationship.

And our time has come to REOPEN St. Paul the Apostle Church for public Masses last June 13th and June 14th. As we entered the Church’s courtyard, WELCOME signs greeted us. Although limited in number (100 attendees), this was the call of the time to be “reborn, rebuild and regather.” Opening slowly but surely, we have to abide with Diocesan Guidelines, State and County orders.

Today, as we come back in-person in the celebration of the Eucharist, let’s rebuild a sacred space of Christ’s body and blood in our hearts – so that we can concretely experience God’s real presence in our lives. When this happens, we are not far then from the words of Pope Francis, when he said: “Eat this sacred food, so that your bond of unity with Christ may never be broken. Drink this sacred blood, the price he paid for you, so that you may never lose heart because of your sinfulness.”

Starting June 13, 2020, our church is open for Mass with limited seating. CLICK HERE for details and guidelines...

Update from Director, Jeanie Kiefer on Reopening Catechetical Ministry Office.

Bishop Barnes on the Holy Spirit during these times...

Today is HOLY TRINITY SUNDAY! It’s a celebration that invites us to live in the awareness of the presence of the TRIUNE GOD within us: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. But it’s a MYSTERY! It’s one of the fundamental doctrines of Christianity and the greatest MYSTERY of our faith.
