Amazing array of saints' relics. Nice selection of gifts and charming gift shop manager.

Never felt like a stranger here. They offer two rites of the sacred liturgy of the Mass here including the Ordinary Form (English) and the Extraordinary Form (Latin). Both are valid, efficacious, and edifying so it merely depends on personal preference. Parking is plentiful and the grounds are very well maintained. Of course when we are here we're visiting with family members so it's always a wonderful celebration of being together while offering sacrifice and praise to God for all He has given us. Definitely be back again. Thank you for reading my review.

St Paul's offers 2 Sunday services: a traditional service at 9:00 AM and a contemporary service at 10:45 AM. (Note: starting July 2nd, 2023, the contemporary service will move to 11:00 AM.) Coffee and snacks are offered between services to encourage fellowship among members. A Midweek Worship service is also offered on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm and is a laid-back non-traditional, contemporary fellowship service. St Paul's has many ministries to support the community including The Mustard Seed Preschool and Daycare Center, the Women of St Paul's and the United Methodist Men who support close to 50 different missions, Grief Share, a missions team who help local and distant families get back on their feet after tragedies as well as support a clinic in Haiti, a monthly community dinner, and many more.

St Paul's is also known for our twice-yearly Cantata's and our wonderful music program, which has been led by the esteemed and talented Barbara Estelle for 45 years! Barbara has announced her well-deserved retirement. We will miss her and wish her the best in this next new stage of her life! It has recently been announced that Amanda Rohrs-Dodge will be our new music director! Welcome to Amanda! We are sure you will do an amazing job to continue in Barbara's footsteps!

Really enjoyed Father's homily and the ambience of the church was prayerful and peaceful. I was here years ago during a special memorial Mass in honor of St Maximilian Kolbe but didn't remember too many details. Loved how the church is pretty much situated in a housing neighborhood giving the environs a quiet feel. There's lots of parking as I imagine on weekends it must get quite crowded. Added joy was that after Mass, Father brought out the Monstrance containing the Blessed Sacrament of our Lord's sacred Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. Stayed for Adoration and confession afterwards. So grateful to Father for offering the sacrament of reconciliation since we missed our usual time during first Saturday due to airline travel. The priest is very young and fervent and we could see he loves Our Lord very much. Hope to stop by in the future if our travels bring us this way again. Mahalo for reading my review.
