Pastoral Team
Pastor: Fr. Paul MacNeil
I was appointed as pastor of Our Lady of the Scapular parish in November 2015 and I am delighted to be here. Before that, I was pastor of St. Ann's parish in Fenwick Ontario, a small but loving community about 30 minutes from here. I was born and raised in St. Catharines and ordained to the priesthood in 1999. Currently I am Chair of the Niagara Catholic District School Board and I'm working on my PhD in Religious Studies at McMaster University. As your pastor, my first priority is just to listen, to get to know you and understand the best way for me to serve you and to bring you closer to each other and to God through Christ.

This ministry is part of the Catholic Moms Group established by founder Dorothy Pilarski and was built in collaboration with the Archdiocese of Toronto with the sole purpose of uplifting the vocation of motherhood.
​
We invite moms at all stages in their mothering journey to be a part of an encouraging and supportive community as we go deeper in our Catholic faith and create lasting friendships. Whether you are a convert, newly returning to the faith or are a cradle Catholic, there is a place here for you!
​
Our Catholic Moms Group meets once a month in the Parish Hall, across the street from the church. Find our group on www.catholicmomsgroup.com for updates about events or contact our Mothers Group Leader at momsgroup@scapular.ca with any questions.
