I'm new to Saint Paul the Apostle in Westerville. Where do I start?
Welcome to Saint Paul the Apostle Catholic Church in Westerville, Ohio! We are a parish of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Columbus.
Inspired by our patron Saint Paul the Apostle, we are a Catholic parish of disciples of Jesus Christ called to bring His truth and love into our community through humble, collaborative service that is faithful to the Word of God, filled with the Holy Spirit, and centered on the Holy Eucharist.
We invite you to check out our Mass, Confession, and Adoration times and join us for worship on Sunday and throughout the week. Sign up for our Flocknote for the latest updates and register as a parishioner if you will be joining us regularly!

Mass: What to Expect
If you have never been to Mass before, or if you haven't gone in a long time, we are excited to have you join us as we celebrate and worship together. We understand that it may feel foreign at first, and that some parts might seem confusing. The last thing we would want is for you to feel unwelcome during the service, so we have created a little guide for you to help you understand the liturgy a little better.
