We're coming together to say goodbye to our beloved Paulists with a special Mass and celebration - you won't want to miss it!
About this Event

After 117 years of dedicated service, the Paulist Fathers will be leaving Newman Hall-Holy Spirit Parish. Across the generations, their pastoral presence has enriched our lives and community in countless ways. This will be a time for us to come together, reminisce, and share our appreciation for the impact the Paulist Fathers have had on our spiritual lives and the community. Your presence will undoubtedly mean a great deal to them and to all of us.

Join us for a special Mass at 5 pm with a number of Paulists concelebrating, and then come upstairs at 6:30ish for the Farewell celebration and program.

RSVP: Please let us know you're coming by Thursday, June 6th to help us ensure that we can accommodate everyone who wishes to attend.

Let's gather to celebrate the legacy of the Paulist Fathers and bid them a fond farewell as they begin a new journey. We look forward to seeing you there.
