Are you looking to purchase crypt space? St. Paul Cemetery recently did an inventory of their available spaces and they found a Companion Crypt space available in the old mausoleum. If you or anyone you know are interested, please call Darlene Law at 304-723-0622. Payment plans are available.

St Paul Church is looking to add another volunteer ministry to our current list. We would like to get a list of people willing to drive someone to appointments, grocery store, pharmacy, etc. If you are willing to be added to this list please call the church office and let us know. While we do not receive a lot of calls on this matter, we have gotten enough that we feel a committee should be created. Please call the church office if you would like to be added to the list.

There is still space available on our Tree

of Life. If you would like to purchase a

leaf, stone, or mini tree please contact

the church office. We also have plenty of

space available for memorial tiles across

the back wall of the church.

Please call or email the church office if you have updated your email and or phone number in the last few years. There are many of you who have

cancelled your landline and use a cell phone for all calls., and we have no way to get a hold of you. Also we do not have correct email for many of our parishioners. Please email the church office your current information so we can keep our records up to date. If you have already done this we thank you. stpaulschurch@comcast.net
