For more than eighty years, St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church has served the families and residents of Whitehaven, southern Shelby County, and northern Mississippi. Our parish continues to grow, building upon our strong Catholic traditions and unique cultural diversity. The family of St. Paul has a fervent Catholic identity that is based upon our communion and unity with our Savior, Jesus Christ and with each other.

Guided by the patronage and intercession of St. Paul, we embrace the apostolic tradition passed down through the Church’s history under the direction of the Holy Spirit. Inspired by our patron’s example, we seek to respond to the universal call to holiness by fulfilling God’s will and living as apostles. At St. Paul Parish, we live out this mission through ministries focused on religious education, community service, and worship, offering many opportunities for all to participate in the life and mission of the Church.

We warmly welcome all visitors and tourists who wish to join our parish family in celebrating Holy Mass and other parish activities. Come share in the joy and blessing of our Catholic faith.

Yours sincerely in Christ Jesus,
Fr. Francisco Franquiz, Pastor
