How long have you been parishioners at St. Paul? What do you enjoy most about this parish, and what improvements would you like to see?

We have been members since 2020. We enjoy the active community we have found. We always see friends at Mass, and we love to visit with them afterward while our children play together. We always feel welcomed by everyone, and our children always feel valued and included at all church events. We also love that the Parish includes a school which our two oldest children currently attend.

We would love to see more all church events, like the summer Parish picnic, and hope these will increase and be more available when the new church is completed!
