A new parish is formed

Many of us were at that first Mass at Madison Place Elementary. We put up chairs, set our humble altar and celebrated Mass. We looked around at our new fellow parishioners and we knew we had a journey ahead of us. Father Andrew Stobl was our first pastor. In December of that year we had our new name: Saint John Paul ll Catholic Parish. We were called not have more, but to be more and we did. We began forming ministries to serve, faith groups to learn our faith more deeply and other forms of fellowship began. It was beautiful.
