St Paul the Apostle Parish

  Welcome to our parish!

One parish, operating in three sites: Buckhorn, Lakefield and Young’s Point, has been offering worship to God, Faith, Hope and Love to the Catholic faithful and Christian witness to the broader community for more than 150 years.

 As of December 26, 2020

weekend masses at

St. Paul the Apostle Lakefield

will be suspended until further notice 

due to provincial COVID lockdown restrictions.

  Please continue to pray for the good health of our people and our parish. 

Please keep our community safe

 Here’s what you can expect at St. Paul the Apostle during this time:

 Baptisms, Funerals and Weddings

Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals can be celebrated but only ten people, including the Celebrant, can be in attendance. Parents are still able to prepare for the baptism of their child. Preparation is done online at whatever pace parents set. After preparing, parents can contact the parish office to take the next step.

 Weekday Daily Masses

Parish Office

 The parish office is closed. Our staff will be working remotely, from home. Feel free to call and Fr. Rick will answer when he is available. If he is not available please leave a message.  Email to the office is checked more regularly. 

Meetings and Groups

Friends, although we have to close our church building for a little while, we are a Christian community and we will continue to share our faith and stay in touch with one another. We are being called to take our Christian Discipleship to the next level, and I am fully confident that we will rise to the occasion.
