Landings: Been Away? Thinking of Coming Back? St. Paul in his letter to the Romans Chapter 8 talks about how nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. Sometimes things, events, tragedies, disappointments, and scandals do get in the way. At times life can become so complicated that relating to the church and to one¹s faith can become difficult causing anyone to move away from the faith community.  If you find yourself in this situation, the people of the St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church, invite you to give yourself and us a chance.
