For the parishioners of St Paul the Apostle Catholic Church Winston HIlls, commemorating their feast day is about more than just honouring their patron saint. It is an annual reminder of the courage, faith and missionary spirit of St Paul - qualities that continue to shape the identity of their parish community. On 28 June 2026, parishioners, clergy and friends gathered in a celebration of worship, gratitude and fellowship, honouring the apostle whose dramatic encounter with the risen Christ transformed his life, and whose witness continues to inspire Christians around the world to proclaim the Gospel with courage and conviction.
