All are essential to our faith community.

Every one of us is called to respond.
         Every one of us is called to respect each other.

Every one of us has a voice that will be heard.

On September 12 and 18, 2005 parishioners of St. Paul’s gathered together for a parish-wide “Discernment of The Spirit.” We came together to listen to each other, share our gifts/talents, and give of ourselves to grow together as a dynamic faith community.

Three critical questions focused our September gatherings:

      1.     What are your one or two personal needs that you desire to be addressed at St. Paul’s?

      2.     What do you believe to be the most pressing need facing the community of St. Paul’s today?

      3.     What gifts (talents, interests, skills) can you share with this community to assist in meeting these needs? 

The responses to these critical questions are stored as PDF files on this website and list every recorded line of input shared during the September Discernment of The Spirit gatherings.  The responses were organized into categories and assigned to one of the follow-up affirmation and action steps meetings (click on the title to access both the responses assigned to this meeting and the results of each session):
