My dear Brothers and Sisters,

At St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church, we represent the Body of Christ and mirror the world as a community in Change.  We are diverse, multi-skilled and multi-talented, with one very strong commonality... we are united as brothers and sisters here in our parish spiritual home. Together we look to Him for spiritual nourishment and together we seek to be His loving heart, hands and feet helping others through their times of need and in times of sharing Joy.  Change is Life.  Just in the recent past, changes our church family has experienced together range from impacts of a major hurricane; saying good-by to dear fellow parishioners due to deaths, illnesses, moves to be closer to family or due to job circumstances, our youth moving on to colleges, as well as those moves necessitated due to the hurricane; and we also share the welcoming of new family members.  As I look out at the congregation on Sundays, or walk thru our constantly active hallways, I see the new faces of young families. I remember officiating their weddings and baptisms, and now see their young children in the halls of our Early Childhood area, others preparing for First Communions, our Youth as they prepare for Confirmation.

We individually change daily as we continue to grow and mature in our faith.  To live life is to be in a constant process of change.   To quote the words of Pope Francis, "May the church be the place of God’s mercy and love, where everyone can feel themselves welcomed, loved, forgiven and encouraged to live according to the good life of the Gospel. And in order to make others feel welcomed, loved, forgiven and encouraged, the church must have open doors so that all might enter. And we must go out of those doors and proclaim the Gospel.” 

At St. Paul the Apostle we strive to be that Church, embracing and supporting each other as we navigate the Changes of life, and together thru our actions “Declare the Glory of God”.  

May God bless you and yours,

Rev. Wencil Pavlovsky
Pastor

“St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church is a growing and diverse community with a small parish feel. United in prayer and worship, we reach out to others, leading and serving as one with Christ.”

The CMG Safe Haven online training is replacing the VIRTUS training. The training consists of 3 vignette style training videos that is approximately 60 minutes and will include a criminal background check that must be completed.
These trainings are available in English and Spanish. We will no longer offer live trainings; all Safe Environment trainings will only be available online.

• All new employees and volunteers will complete the Safe Haven online training program instead of VIRTUS PGC training. The turnaround time for approval may be approximately two weeks or less.

• All individuals must complete the training and complete a background check prior to the start of employment and/or volunteer service.
• The 5-year anniversary date is still in place, individuals who recently attended VIRTUS will not be due to complete refresher trainings until they have met their 5-year anniversary date.
• As the 5-year anniversary date is met, individuals will need to log into CMGConnect https://galvestonhouston.cmgconnect.org/ with their previous personal VIRTUS user id and 1234 as the password. Once the individual logs into their CMGConnect account, they will be able to change their password. If they do not remember the user id, they may contact the following:
