Vestry & Delegates

In the Episcopal Church, and thus at St. Paul’s, we depend on the leadership of our laity (non-ordained folks) in all aspects of our life together. The vestry is the governing body of our church and operates much like a board of a non-profit organization, but with more prayer! The vestry is chaired by two “Wardens” and comprised of nine members, three of whom are elected every three years to three-year terms. Additionally, there is a treasurer and assistant treasurer, and a clerk. Vestry members provide leadership and guidance for all of our ministries.

Dan Fields

Co-Warden

Why I call St. Paul's Home: I was baptized (as an adult) and married here, and our family has grown up here. I worship here, I am fed here, and I rejoice and lament here. Where else would I call home?

More

Kathy Scott-White

Co-Warden

Why I call St. Paul's Home: I call St. Paul's home because it is with our church community that I find solace from the "real world". St. Paul's is a sacred space for me, a place where I find our parish family living out our mission statement.

I believe we do welcome everyone in love and that our worship is joyful. St. Paul's is where I/we are enabled to grow in our faith journey's which includes the commitment to work for justice for all. And I truly believe we as a parish family endeavor to seek and serve Christ in all persons.

Emily Fagan

Treasurer

Why I call St. Paul's home: I call St. Paul’s home because it’s a place where my soul can rest and be nourished and where I can engage in service to our local community and beyond. There are so many important ministries at St. Paul's and I've formed special and enduring relationships through my participation in them. Especially in the trying times of the last couple of years, my family has taken comfort in being a part of the St. Paul’s family. Even though we weren’t able to be together physically, we always felt the love and connection!


More

Beth Taskovska

Clerk

Why I call St. Paul's home: I came to St. Paul’s at the beginning of the pandemic. Though services and events were online at the time, I’d never experienced such a warm welcome. For the first time since my husband and I moved to this area 7 years ago, I feel as though I’ve found a place where I belong. This community is truly special and I feel blessed to be a part of it.

More

Mimi Achibe

Why I call St. Paul's Home: When my husband, Chidi, and I moved to the area from Somerville we went ‘church shopping’ every Sunday. We got to St. Paul’s and our decision was made. St. Paul’s felt just right! Everyone was friendly and inviting. That was over 15 years ago now. St. Paul’s embodies my interpretation of striving to be Christ-like: Active in the pursuit of God’s work yet accommodating, forgiving and warm. That’s why we keep coming to St. Paul’s.

More

Mari Brennan Barrera

Why I call St. Paul's Home: St. Paul's has been my faith home for close to 20 years. I've had the joy and privilege of raising my children in the St. Paul's community, and I deeply value the people here and the many opportunities to contribute to the congregation as I strive to live a faith-filled life. Being part of St. Paul's has been such an important part of my adult life, and I am so grateful to be in community with everyone here.

More

Kim Bennet

Why I call St. Paul's Home: St. Paul’s is my ever-growing extended family and my spiritual home. It is so much more than a wonderful place to worship. Our incredibly supportive community is deeply engaged and thoughtfully ready to celebrate with you, pray with you, and grieve with you. At St. Paul’s you never walk alone.

More

Dominic Hall

Why I call St. Paul's home: The St. Paul's community resonates with kindness, and it's where I find peace. That's why I call it home.

More

Chuck Shaw

Why I call St. Paul's home: As a lifelong Episcopalian I came to St. Pauls some 25 years ago with my wife and two young children. I stepped through the doors of a welcoming place. A place of ritual and spiritual comfort harkening back to the church of my youth. Through the years both in dark times and in times of light I have witnessed the church evolve and grow and in all that time St.Pauls has remained at its core a place that is welcoming and supportive to all who step through her door.

More

Brian Mohammed

Why I call St. Paul's Home: Both David and I started commuting to St. Paul's about 7 years ago. We only came occasionally but what made us keep coming was the wonderful and welcoming people we met at St. Paul's. I remember we met Edla and she insisted that we come back again and of course we did. I look forward to playing a part in the joyful life at St. Paul's.

More

Katie Huber

Why I call St. Paul's Home: I call St. Paul’s my Home because it is such a warm and inclusive spiritual community. I’ve felt this way for many years but this has really become so valuable to my family the past few years as our children have grown as teens and identify as members of the LGBTQ+ community. St. Paul’s is a safe place for them to be themselves and belong with the great people in our Christian community.

More

Sean Fagan

Why I call St. Paul's Home: Amongst so many other things…to me, St. Paul’s is a warm smile, an understanding nod, a much needed hug, spiritual enrichment, a sermon that brings me to tears, a place to reflect and grow to be a better person.

More

Gary Gaines

Why I call St. Paul's home: I came to SPs through my wife Valerie’s involvement. Figuratively speaking, I sat at the back of the church and watched. Then during a retreat I made musical sounds and was invited into the choir. The choir “family" brought me into contact with many others in the church and minor volunteer activities and program involvement expanded my circle of friends and established my belongingness.

I began as an alien, never having been exposed to the rituals, liturgy, language or virtually any part of the Episcopal religious tradition. Nevertheless people accepted me and treated me as one of the SPs family. SPs became the place of my grounding and a part of my identity. It is a place where I can relax my guard against the shape-shifting of truth and the manipulation of my person, and a place of familiar faces and cordial people who share my values and concerns. It is a refuge, and a starting and ending place. It is a Home.

Delegates

Our delegates represent St. Paul’s church at Episcopal gatherings on the diocesan and regional level, voting on our behalf at diocesan convention, and keeping our membership apprised of the workings of the wider church.

Ian McReynolds

Delegate

Why I Call St. Paul’s Home: I call St. Paul’s home because of the supporting and welcoming community. Everyone, whether you’ve known them for ten minutes or ten years, are always positive, warm, welcoming, and encouraging.

More

Sarah Wall-Randell

Delegate

Why I call St. Paul's home: I grew up in the Episcopal church but as an adult (and as a parent) struggled to find a faith community that really felt like a place I wanted to plant roots. As soon as I walked into St Paul's I knew this was home. The church family here is creative, vibrant, loving, and devoted to "being the Church," embodying God's love in the world.

More

Andrew Komjathy

Alternate

Why I call St. Paul's home: I call St. Paul’s home because it is an extension of where our family goes to celebrate, appreciate, support and reflect on the benefits and challenges we encounter. A home is considered a safe, welcoming haven whose residents/family members support each other. To me, St. Paul’s is a similar haven.

Service Times

All Are Welcome!

On Easter Sunday morning (April 9) our services will at 9 am & 11 am.

Both the 9 and 11 a.m. Easter Eucharist Services will have music and our St. Paul's Choir!

8:00 a.m. In-person Service:

Early on Sundays, St. Paul's gathers for a simple Eucharistic Liturgy with no music. This service runs about 35 minutes long.

10:00 a.m. In-person & Live-Streamed Service:

Join with the community of St. Paul's Natick as we gather later each Sunday morning for a Eucharistic Liturgy with our choir and music minister. This service runs a little over an hour long and is most often the Rite 2 service from the Book of Common Prayer.

Our in-person service is available to attend virtually as a Zoom webinar and is also live-streamed to both our YouTube and Facebook pages so that you have a choice of platforms!


We also suggest that if you have been a Covid-19 close contact, have any cold symptoms, or have been traveling during the week leading up to a Sunday morning, you would consider masking for the sake of others.

We encourage each parishioner and visitor to St. Paul’s to do what feels right to them, for their own health and for the health of others around them.

We recognize many people are comfortable without a mask, and others prefer or need to continue to wear a mask, and we support and welcome people to make their own choices on wearing a mask right now.

Baptism. Communion. Marriage. Funerals. At these special times, we celebrate them as sacraments. According to the Book of Common Prayer, sacraments are "outward and visible signs of inward and spiritual grace, given by Christ as sure and certain means by which we receive that grace." We look forward to sharing with you in these special sacramental moments.

Stewardship is about more than money. It’s about giving our time, talent and treasure to take care of the world that God has created for us. As God’s people we are stewards of creation. St. Paul’s receives no financial support from the Diocese. Our rector, staff and programming would not be possible without contributions from you.

Consider Stewardship as giving back to God that which God has already given to us.

Our campaign theme is More than Enough, and it comes from the end of Luke’s version of the feeding of the five-thousand. Responding to Jesus’ call, the gathered crowd turns their pockets inside out, shakes out their blankets, rummages through their parcels to find enough to take care of the needs of the community. And what do they realize? That by the miracle of faith and the action on Love, there was more than enough, an abundance of leftovers!

Every gift of wealth, works and wisdom goes toward our ministry and mission, and your gift is essential to us.
