"to be a truly great Catholic high school". Here you will find St. Paul news you can use -

Enjoy reading about all the great things happening at St. Paul! | Faith Feature Bishop Juan Miguel Betancourt, SEMV, was the principal celebrant at Mass a few weeks ago at St. Gregory the Great Church, where he administered the Sacrament of Confirmation on seven of our St. Paul students and gave one her First Holy Communion. Another student made a Profession of Faith in all that the Catholic Church teaches (he was baptized and confirmed as an infant in the Greek Orthodox Church). Mass was concelebrated by Father Daniel Hackenjos - the Dean of Religious Life, Father Nathaniel Labarda, Father David Dawson, and Father James Sullivan. Congratulations to the following students who received their sacraments: Linsey Biodino
Jameson Chance
Isabella Destefano
Jack McDougall
