Parish History
St. Paul Roman Catholic Parish began as a mission from Most Holy Trinity Parish. The church was built in 1987 under the pastoral direction and leadership of Father Eugene O’Carroll and Bishop Thomas O’Brien. The rest of our facilities followed, with O’Carroll Hall constructed in 2002, dedicated by the parishioners in honor of Father’s 40th anniversary of the priesthood.
Architectural & Artistic Features
The church was designed with radial seating to enhance community and minimize distance from the sanctuary. The stained glass windows depict key moments in St. Paul’s life, including his conversion, baptism, and missionary journeys. The Stations of the Cross and sculptures were created to reflect the Church’s mission and the Southwest aesthetic.
