Many men have dedicated their lives to serving God and his church by becoming a member of the Missionary Society of St. Paul the Apostle. The contributions they made not only strengthened universal church in America, but paved the way for the future of the society itself. The necrology listing below contains all of the names and information of Paulists who have died. We honor these priests and pray for their eternal peace.
