I welcome you to St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Community. We are a parish staffed by the Paulist Fathers, located in the heart of the Westside of Los Angeles. Our parishioners come from near and far. Some live a block from the parish and others commute from all over the city.

As Catholic Christians we understand our need for one other. It is when we join together in a common vision that we find ourselves in the presence of another Presence, who is the source of our hope, and who supports and sustains us.

No two of us walk the same spiritual path at the same time. The watercolor on the first page of our website is entitled, “The Way” and was painted by parishioner, Chris Green. It depicts a path wandering through a Southern California landscape and represents our community slogan, “Wherever you are on your faith journey, you are welcome here.”

So, whoever you are—a seeker for truth, someone with no church affiliation, or someone who has been away from church for whatever reason—our welcome is waiting for you.

We hope you enjoy visiting our Web site. Come visit us in person.

Fr. John Ardis
Pastor, St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Community
