Our Becoming Catholic program is a process to help people experience the fullness of the Faith. Our desire is for people to confidently enter full communion of Faith and to feel the warm embrace of the Church family.

Faith formation is at the heart of St. Paul, and we rely on volunteers to help teach our children, counsel couples considering marriage, and mentor adults who wish to join the Church. We also sponsor weekly Bible studies for men and women. Our goal: to create a meaningful learning experience that will encourage growth toward God.

Volunteer couples sponsor engaged couples who are working through FOCCUS inventory, a pre-marriage tool that facilitates open communication. Several categories in the inventory are targeted to stimulate discussion on subjects such as families of origin, religion, careers, and finances, among others. The program reflects the mission of St. Paul Catholic Center to enrich the sacrament of marriage and to foster loving relationships. Training is provided.
Women’s Bible Study continues to meet every Thursday morning from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Zoom. We are studying the books of Tobit, Judith and Esther using the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible series which we purchased on Amazon.
