Annual Paulist Appeal 2021

The Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul the Apostle, January 25, 2021 As they have since its founding in 1908, priests of the Missionary Society of St. Paul the Apostle  continue to serve St. Austin Catholic Parish. The Paulist Fathers are the first community of religious priests founded in the United States. At our Masses on the weekend of January 23-24, we marked the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul the Apostle with a reflection from Kelly Bodu Tarrant, Chair of Parish Pastoral Council. The festivities continued the next evening when Paulist Fr. John Collins delivered the first-ever online annual appeal. Fr. Jack was Associate Pastor at St. Austin's in the late 1970s. Widely known as "The Clown Prince" of the Paulists, Fr. Jack made the evening memorable. If you missed the fun, catch the video, read Kelly's presentation, Fr. Eric's letter, and take a moment to contribute to our appealing Paulist shepherds.
