Saint Paul’s has been the place my heart was longing to find. I have always been a person of strong faith and grew up in the Roman Catholic Church, but never really felt connected to the church as I don’t agree with a lot of their positions on certain matters. I have never been part of a church community and have never felt embraced by a church and I honestly never thought I would . . . .
After 5 years of marriage and struggles to conceive, God blessed me with my first born, my son Andres. He was born prematurely with a host of different health problems but my biggest heartache was when we found out that he was blind. God showed me his strength and my faith would get us through the trials coming ahead . . . . I realized that as he was getting older I needed to find a place that was accepting of “ALL” people, loving and embracing. We needed a Church Home.
I first learned about the Episcopal church through my husband’s family and loved that as it was different and more accepting of “ALL” people it still had the foundation of the Catholic church I grew up with. I finally made the decision to “check this place out” and I’m so grateful I did. I will always treasure that moment, the moment Armida greeted us with such a big smile and the moment Lori and Patty took Andres by the arm and had him join Sunday School with all the other children. The look on my son’s face was priceless. We were home! So I can say that no matter where life takes us, God has a way to bring you back home.
Thank you St. Paul’s!
