Pope Francis wants to know what you think - take a survey and share your thoughts!
Pope Francis has called a gathering of bishops across the world (called a Synod) in October 2018 on the topic of Young People, the Faith, and Vocational Discernment, to discuss how the Catholic Church can better support young people in living their faith and discerning their mission in life. To help Pope Francis and the Bishops prepare for this Synod they are asking both Catholics and non-Catholics across the world to share their experience. Not only will your input help Pope Francis prepare for the Synod, it will also help our local Catholic Archdiocese of Portland to discern how we can better engage and support young people on their journey of faith.Click on the link below to take the survey - available in English and Spanish:

Message from the Pastor
Dear Friends in Christ,
Welcome to St. Paul Catholic Church! We are very pleased to have you in our parish community and hope you will find a spiritual home with us here. Above all, our parish is committed to beautiful and communal worship of God in the sacred liturgy. Together we offer in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass adoration, thanksgiving, supplication and reparation to the only begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ.
Our vibrant parish has many opportunities to meet the spiritual needs of our parishioners and local community in many extraordinary ways outside of the sacred liturgy as well: religious education and sacramental preparation, youth group, adult faith formation, RCIA, Spanish faith formation via the San Juan Diego program, funeral ministry, Knights of Columbus, the Women’s Group, the charismatic prayer group, and a myriad of other avenues to engage your Catholic faith. Our parish is growing each month with new parishioners and new possibilities to serve the Lord and our brothers and sisters in Christ within our community.
Please make known to us your spiritual needs or if there is any way we can help foster your faith and serve you in the name of Christ. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with our parish website, which has a wide-range of information and resources available for you. May Christ the Lord shower His choicest blessings upon you and your family as you begin your faith journey with us together at St. Paul Catholic Church!
Respectfully yours in Christ,
Rev. Basil Lawrence, OSB
