Celebrating the Gift of God’s Love

                                                          "The mystery of community is precisely that it embraces all people, whatever their individual differences may be, and allows them to live together as brothers and sisters of Christ and sons and daughters of his heavenly Father."

Something New Is Coming!

Our parish website is under re-construction!  Our website host, WeConnect at LPi, will no longer support the current platform of stpascals.org and will be moving all your favorites over to the new platform. In the process, stpascals.org will undergo a visual refresh with new features and layouts. We expect the new website to be live in mid-September. Until then, please continue to visit and use the parish website—and be among the first to see our new look. In the meantime, if you need any assistance with your online donations, please contact Theresa at 651.432.4960.

2024 Spring Fund-a-Need

Boiler Update

We are very excited that work on the new boiler has begun!  The water and power to the old boiler were disconnected, and the abatement of the old boiler started on Monday, July 8.  The entire removal process was completed within 5 days.  Check back for when we will announce the new boiler's delivery date and installation time.

All of this is possible through your generosity.  Thanks to all who participated in the 2023 and 2024 Fund A Need campaigns.  We will have efficient, reliable heat for many years to come.

For more information, See the 2024 Fund-a-Need flyer.
