Bas Relief

Bas Relief in front of St. Paul’s Cathedral

This bas relief is featured on the front of St. Paul Church. The feathered quill pen represents Paul’s writings; the traditional sword a reference to his statement “the Word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword; the sail boat and waves refer to his many journeys; the chains to his imprisonment and his statement that the Word of God cannot be chained; the crown to his words that he “run the race, fought the good fight and God has a merited crown reserved for me.”

Directions

Mission Statement

THE MISSION STATEMENT
OF ST. PAUL PARISH
Weirton, West Virginia
Adopted by Parish Vote May 2006

The Risen Jesus summons the Catholic parish family of St. Paul to be a beacon of hope in a dramatically changing city.

Empowered by the Holy Spirit and strengthened by the
Eucharist, we are committed to sharing God’s love:

by offering concrete signs of hope to all, especially to the elderly, the poor and the disheartened.
by ministering through prayer, worship, and sacraments,
by living as a welcoming and nurturing community.

Our History

St. Paul Parish traces its origin to 1880 when a mission was organized in Weirton. The Phillips Sheet and Tin Plate Company, now Weirton Steel, had attracted many Catholics, including a number of Polish immigrants. Saint Paul Parish was established in 1911 for the families. Weirton Steel donated property for the church. In 1915 the parish divided to accommodate the growing Polish community and Sacred Heart of Mary Parish was formed. A private home was purchased for the non-Polish parishioners. On May 27, 1916, St. Paul Parish was established and designated to serve the Catholics of Weirton, Holidays Cove, Wheeling Junction, Colliers and New Cumberland. The church was dedicated two years later. In 1957 the parish was further divided and St. Joseph the Worker Parish was formed on Weirton Heights. The first school was built by 1924 and staffed by the Servants of Mary. The present church was built in 1972.”
