On Sunday, May 21, our three new Paulist Fathers celebrated their Masses of Thanksgiving (or “First Masses”) at our mother church, the Church of St. Paul the Apostle, in New York City.

Paulist Fr. Steven Petroff celebrated his Mass of Thanksgiving at the 10 a.m. Mass.

Paulist Fr. Matthew Berrios said the 12:30 p.m. Mass in Spanish.

Paulist Fr. Stuart Wilson-Smith said the 5:15 p.m. Mass.
