Join Discerning Deacons and Catholics around the world on Zoom to celebrate the Feast of St. Phoebe – deacon, leader, and witness to the Gospel – with prayer, storytelling, and hope for a more synodal Church. As we honor St. Phoebe’s witness, we will pray for the grace to bridge the divides that keep us from fully co-laboring in the Gospel and entrust ourselves to the Holy Spirit, who continues to guide the Church toward deeper communion, participation, and mission.

It is my great pleasure to announce that Sister Colleen Gibson will be assuming the role of Director of Pastoral Care and Liturgy for the Collaborative effective immediately.
Sister Colleen joined us in the fall of 2023 as Coordinator of Pastoral Care, working in partnership with Kelly Meraw, our former Director of Pastoral Care and Liturgy, to offer faith formation and enrichment programs, facilitate service and outreach initiatives, and coordinate sacramental liturgies and services across the Collaborative…
For the most part, I consider myself to be a highly decisive person. Some would call it “impulsive”, and on occasion they’d be right, but in general I prefer “resolute”. Stubbornly self-sufficient and willing to face any resulting consequences, my first instincts are typically my lasting ones. I’m plagued by very little doubt or regret and, by God’s grace, I haven’t yet met any catastrophic repercussions…
It’s for this reason that I’ve always loved Peter. Simon Peter, who drops his whole life to follow a man he’d just met, because he was that resolute…
George Cronin, who has served the St. John-St. Paul Collaborative for 10 years as the Facility Manager for St. John the Evangelist Parish and Saint John School, has been named to the newly-created position of Collaborative Facilities and Property Manager, with responsibility for all buildings and grounds at St. John, St. Paul, and Saint John School.
George and Dave have been working together to ensure a smooth transition for the work at St. Paul, and we know you join us in welcoming him to this new role.
Dave Pini, a life-long parishioner and dedicated St. Paul employee of more than 50 years (his service to St. Paul began on a part time basis in the 1970s!) is retiring from his position as property manager effective August 9, 2026. St. Paul Parish has long been known for its beautifully landscaped and well-maintained grounds, which has been a labor of love for Dave for all these many years, along with our church, rectory, and school buildings. We have been extraordinarily blessed by Dave’s 50+ years of dedication to the parish, and we know you join us in wishing him every blessing as he begins this new chapter in his life. He will be deeply missed.
This Tuesday, August 11, all are invited to join us for a special Mass at St. Paul Church at 10:30am, followed by a reception in the Parish Hall to honor and thank Dave and wish him well in retirement.
