The primary function of all priests is administering the church's seven sacraments: baptism, confirmation, confession, holy communion, marriage, holy orders, and anointing of the sick. Priests also visit the sick, oversee religious education programs, and generally provide pastoral care to their parishioners.

Both permanent and transitional deacons perform the same duties in the church. Deacons aid priests in their parish duties by visiting the sick, providing spiritual guidance in the community and acting as a servant of God. In addition, deacons can witness marriages, perform baptisms, preside over funeral and burial services outside of Mass, distribute the Holy Communion and preach the homily (a sermon given after the Gospel of Mass).

If you want more information about the priests and deacons assigned to St. Paul thhey are listed below.  They are more than happy to sit down and talk to you about their ministry.
