Since 1963
Here’s The Deal:
"St. Paul Catholic Church was built-in 1963. A significant milestone was achieved in 1990, when the new church held its first mass, with seats for over 1,100 parishioners. During the early 1990s, St. Paul's continued to grow in stature and numbers. They built niches to place their refurbished icons prominently in the chapel, and thanks to an Eagle Scout initiative. They have also been allowed to install new candle stands in the church and a statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Their sanctuary underwent a makeover, creating a tranquil and very symbolic place of worship. The Rosary is one of the Catholic Church's most significant and most essential devotions. It is built to suit young adolescents' educational, cultural, social, and social needs. It has more than 80 ministries at its 16,700 + parishioners. The church offers a healthy, respectful, and Catholic atmosphere in which children can learn, play, and develop quickly."
