We are very glad you're thinking about becoming a member of St. Paul Parish, and we look forward to meeting you! We ask all new members to attend a Registration Night event which is the perfect opportunity to learn about our parish, ask questions, to meet other new members and to establish relationships with long-time parishioners as well.
 

Registration meetings are held on the 2nd Monday of the month at 7pm in the St. Paul Church Hall. All are welcome!  *NOTE that the Nov. 11, 2024 meeting will be held in the school gym.

Interested in becoming Catholic?

If you or someone you know has expressed an interest in becoming Catholic, we offer an opportunity to come together in a small group to learn more about our faith. For those who may want to be baptized in the Catholic faith or for those who were baptized Catholic as a child, but have not celebrated the Sacraments of the Eucharist or Confirmation, please contact us to learn more.

You are welcome to participate in the process with your questions, your insights and your faith story in a warm and accepting setting. The sessions focus on the teachings and experience of the Church and prepare individuals to celebrate the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist during the Easter season.

For information, please contact Fr. Raymond at 860-828-0332 or [email protected]
