About Saint Paul the Apostle <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

St. Paul the Apostle Parish is located on the southeast side of Grand Rapids.  St. Paul was founded in 1965 and has grown steadily through the years.  We are a vibrant parish community of 1200+ families from the greater Grand Rapids area and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vision Statement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We envision Saint Paul the Apostle Catholic Parish as a gathering of the Faithful constantly striving to follow Jesus as the early church did, \u201cdevoting themselves to Christ\u2019s teaching, Fellowship, the Eucharist and prayer.\u201d  Acts 2:42.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


We encourage members of all ages by providing quality programs in on-going spiritual formation to participate in the faith community, to minister to those in need and to carry by word and action the moral voice of the Catholic Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


We develop our facilities and enrich our programs toward these ends, utilizing the channels of communication within our parish to build awareness of plans, needs and opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


We desire to take into the community the good news of Christ by living our faith as did St. Paul the Apostle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
