Greetings from the Pastoral Council!

In a city as large and fast-moving as New York, it can often be easy for us to feel like just another face in the crowd, without connection or community. For that reason, it's critical for us to be very intentional about making sure that all new members of our parish are fully welcomed into our community. St. Paul’s is meant to be more than a place we pass through. It’s meant to be a spiritual home.

With this in mind, the pastoral council has listened and decided to begin a welcoming ministry to better serve those new to our community.

That’s why we’re excited to invite you to something new: our first-ever Parish Welcome Evening, taking place on Wednesday, June 3 at 6:30 PM. Our goal is to hold evenings like this on a quarterly basis for those joining the parish.

This evening is for anyone who is new, feels new, or simply wants to feel more connected. You’ll have the chance to meet the Paulist Fathers who serve St. Paul’s, get to know fellow parishioners, hear a bit about parish life and ministries, and even take a guided tour of our beautiful and unique church.

We hope you’ll join us. If you would like to RSVP for this welcome event or want to learn more about this new initiative, please contact us at parishcouncil@stpaultheapostle.org.

You belong here—and we’d love to get to know you.

Thank you, and God bless.

The Pastoral Council

On Saturday evening, we were joined by The Most Reverend Edmund Whalen, Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of New York, for the celebration of the sacrament of Confirmation! Children from Religious Education and adults from our Confirmation classes received full initiation into the faith. A special thanks to their sponsors and catechists for their help in preparing the confirmands for this wonderful celebration!

Monday night's spring choir concert - entitledThen, Now, Always - was an uplifting display of the beautiful gift of sacred music our talented Music Ministry shares with us ever week at the liturgies.

It was also an opportunity to celebrate ten years of dedicated work from our Director of Music, Joey Chancey!

Grant eternal rest to Anne Piacentini, Stella Scott, Ernie Purugganan, Richard Giusti, John J. Kenny, Maria Rosario Roldan, Edda Feldman, Anne Piacentini, Josephine Szurlej, and Frank Vecchione.
