Saint Paul Lutheran and Catholic Community of Faith

Catholic Mass: Saturdays at 5 p.m.
Lutheran Worship: Sundays at 10:30 a.m.
We extend a special welcome to those who are single, married, divorced, gay, filthy rich, dirt poor, y no habla ingles. We extend a special welcome to those who are crying newborns, skinny as a rail, or could afford to lose a few pounds. We welcome you if you can sing like Andrea Bocelli or can’t carry a note in a bucket.
You’re welcome here if you’re just browsing, or just got out of jail. We don’t care if you are more Catholic than the Pope or haven’t been to church since little Joey’s baptism. We welcome soccer moms, NASCAR dads, starving artists, tree-huggers, latte-sippers, vegetarians, and junk food eaters.
We welcome you if you’re having problems, or you’re down in the dumps, or if you don’t like,” organized religion”; we’ve been there too. If you blew all your money at the dog track, you’re welcome here. We welcome those who are inked, pierced, or both. We offer a special welcome to those who could use a prayer right now, had religion shoved down their throat as a kid, or got lost in traffic and wound up here by mistake.
We welcome tourists, seekers, doubters, bleeding hearts, and YOU!

Saint Paul is an open, affirming, and diverse community of faith representing two Christian traditions, that of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and that of the Catholic Church. Each tradition maintains and honors its own heritage, and each worships according to its own liturgical practices. As one community of faith, the members of the respective traditions work together in social outreach and shared hospitality. Together we rejoice in the manner in which diversity has enriched, nurtured, and challenged the life and ministry we share in Christ, and we regret actions and attitudes throughout the Church that may have inhibited or prevented access to Word and Sacrament because of age, race, socio-economic or marital status, physical or mental capacities, gender identity, or sexual orientation. We are a Reconciling in Christ community.
