Our Parish Mission Statement:

We, the people of St. Paul of the Cross Parish, are members of the universal communion of the Roman Catholic Church.  We are one at the table of the Lord, where we are fed by the incomparable gift of the Real Presence of the Lord in the Holy Eucharist.  We are formed by the Gospels and the teachings of the Church, and we are strengthened by prayer and the Sacraments.  It is through the parish that we find our role in sharing our faith, in strengthening family life, in caring for the needy in surrounding communities, and in creating an environment that reflects the love and justice of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

We are committed to being good Stewards.  We recognize that all that we are and all that we have are gifts from the Lord.  We place our gifts of time talent and treasure at the service of the Church, so that together we will build the Kingdom of God on this earth.  We are dedicated to prayer, to study, and to action.  We value the dignity of all persons from the unborn to those who are approaching their final reward.  We work together with the diocesan bishop, the clergy, the religious, and the laity - as well as all God's people.
