St. Paul Parish

What St. Paul Parish does

St. Paul Parish is a Roman Catholic parish located at 84 Sherwood Avenue in Greenwich, Connecticut, founded in 1902 and operating as a nonprofit religious organization under the Diocese of Bridgeport. The parish serves registered Catholic families and individuals in Greenwich and surrounding areas (including parts of New York bordering CT) through weekly Mass, sacraments, faith formation programs, and pastoral ministries. The parish's core offerings include a religious education program for children in PreK through 7th grade (structured across three pathways: Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, Word of Life, and Homeschool), the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA/OCIA), pastoral counseling, bereavement support, and an extensive music ministry.

The music ministry is the parish's principal differentiator, anchored by St. Paul's Consort, the only fully professional Catholic church choir in the Diocese of Bridgeport, led by Organist and Master of Choristers Maksymilian Adach with prior affiliations at Oxford colleges and Anglican cathedrals. The parish is developing the Tallis Academy chorister training program (Exploratory Year Fall 2026, full launch Fall 2027) and operates three choral ensembles (Consort, Singers, Staff Singers) supported by two pipe organs (a Noack Opus 109 arriving September 2026 and a Bennett & Giuttari Op. 12 chamber organ arriving June 2026). Digital infrastructure spans OSV Hub for online giving and website, Flocknote for email communications, LiveControl TV for livestream Mass, FORMED.org for Catholic digital content, and the Ministry Platform church management system being implemented Summer 2026.

Revenue is generated primarily through offertory donations ($731.3K in FY2025) supplemented by religious education tuition ($325–$575 annually by family size) and online giving via OSV Hub. The parish operates with a lean staff structure led by Parochial Administrator Rev. Michael J.V. Clark and includes a Parish Pastoral Council and Parish Finance Council. The parish maintains approximately $2.0M in investments with Knights of Columbus Asset Advisors and ~$1.5M in net assets, and operates a cross-state service footprint through its Mercy Volunteers partnership with Don Bosco Community Center in Port Chester, NY.
