Parish Life Ministries

What’s a “parish” anyway?

Most often when we use the word “parish” we mean a local congregation.

Parish Life activities bring together persons of various ages and unique gifts, young and old, rich and poor, saints and sinners. The fellowship of this community is expressed through the many Parish Life programs at St. Paul’s. Parishioners host receptions, discuss books, play in an interfaith softball league. Youth and adults take an active part wherever they can, by recognizing their own spiritual gifts and natural abilities, matching them with the needs of the church. St. Paul’s is a community of faith and action, lived out through participation in Parish Life activities.
