Catholic Church of Saint Paul the Apostle

Every Sunday, we should remember Jesus's admonition to Go forth and teach all Nations and Baptize them.

We have been a parish and faith family since 1868. We have gather on Sundays on this hill and have grown in faith and love...first in a wooden Church house under Father James O'Kean with early immigrants down to these times with many, new young folks and families.

We welcome all new members and friends who want to know us or need God or fellowship. This is our purpose, to bring the good news of Jesus to you, each other, and our community.

Since 1887, the Benedictine Sisters have been wonderful and faithful teachers, serving our family in one of the state's oldest Catholic Schools.

We are proud of our Catholic faith in Jesus as the way, truth, and life. We give thanks to God, our Father, for His blessings on us as we have lived and professed the faith over the decades. We give thanks for this wonderful community of Pocahontas and Randolph County with its strong families, Churches, businesses and community groups. Welcome!!!

Yours,

St. Paul's Catholic Church,

"Have you been away

from home awhile?"

Have you been thinking about coming back to Church on Sunday? Have you or someone you know been away form Church a period of time, maybe even a long time? You may be Catholic or its been so long that you hardly remember the Church you were in...that's all right! There are many others with you.

YOU are the most important. Maybe you've even been thinking a little about doing something. Doing what you ask? Maybe just giving or putting more time for God in your life or the lives of your children, or making some moral changes and finding peace. It is not hard. Just come on Sunday or attend our Inquiry Classes. You can also call Father Jacobs or ask a Catholic friend to call you. Now is a good time do something!!!

TO YOU, WE ISSUE A SPECIAL INVITATION..

Much has happened in our Church in recent years. There is a new surge of fellowship and understanding in our community. To make our family complete, we need and want you with us. We think you may be pleasantly surprised.

Saint Paul Parishioners

P.S. We would welcome you at our Inquiry Sessions - it's a great way for an adult Catholic to renew or refresh their faith.

Welcome Back, Home!!!

Adult Initiation at Saint Paul's...

Dear Friend:

Many people are looking for more or just something else in their lives. Something is lacking or there is an emptiness... maybe even God is absent. Maybe you are in that situation where you want to change, to decide with God and put things right.

If you or someone you know is wondering about the Church, about learning more about what it teaches or becoming a Catholic...then we urge and invite you to act now. We at Saint Paul's will help.

Just call the Church office at (870) 892-3319 or come and join our INQUIRY GROUP. It is a group that shares and encourages folks to decide about God, Church, and making needed changes. We as Catholics recognize that there are many good people outside its membership, that other religious can do bring their members close to God and their fellow human beings. We as Catholics have found somehting very special and would like to share our Church, our Faith, and our way of life with you.
