Food Pantry

As a service to the poor, St. Paul’s operates a small food pantry. Food distributed to the poor through the food pantry is donated by members of the parish. There are boxes at the door of the church where donations of nonperishable boxed items or canned goods may be placed or donated food may be brought to the parish office during the week. Volunteers help by carrying boxes of food from church to the office, sorting and shelving food, and preparing bags of food for distribution.



People in need may request food once a month by contacting the parish office.
To volunteer to help with the food pantry contact the parish office.

Sunday Coffee and Donuts

Coffee and donuts are served on the second Sunday of each month after the 8:30am & 10:30am Masses.

Funeral Dinners

A meal is provided at no cost to alleviate the concern of the bereaved and to feed everyone after the funeral. The meal is arranged for the bereaved after a phone contact with the funeral dinner coordinator to determine the approximate number attending. Depending on the need, volunteers are contacted once every 9–12 months to provide a covered dish or dessert. The meat, bread, drinks, condiments, plates, etc. are provided by the parish. The dinner is held at the Motsett Center. Donations are accepted but not necessary.

Freedom Years Luncheons

Volunteers serve a luncheon three times a year at the Motsett Center for anyone 50 years or older that would like to participate. The luncheons include door prizes and entertainment. Volunteers are always needed to help organize and decorate.

Adopt-a-Family

At the begining of the Advent Season, parishioners adopt a family from a list of names provided to the church, and have approximately three weeks to collect the items needed for the baskets. Volunteers from the church deliver the baskets to approximately 120 families about one week before Christmas.

Knights of Columbus

The Knights of Columbus is an organization of men who provide many opportunities for Catholic men to be of service.

Visiting Nursing Homes & Homebound

This group assists the pastor by visiting those who are not able to attend Mass and bringing Holy Communion to the homebound and those in nursing homes and hospitals.

An extraordinary minister to the sick and homebound must be a practicing Catholic in good standing, with a sympathetic heart for the sick and a strong feeling for giving comfort and love to them.

If you would like to volunteer or know someone who needs homebound ministry, contact the parish office.
