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.

Altar Servers
We are pleased that you wish to become an Altar Server here at Our Lady of the Scapular. This is an important ministry which enhances the celebration of Holy Mass.
Altar Serving is one of the ways our young people can begin to live out their Baptism promises by serving others and witnessing to their faith in Jesus Christ. By serving at the Altar and assisting the priest, altar servers have the opportunity to celebrate the Mass with more active participation.
In our parish, any child between grades 3-12 can become an altar server. All servers are encouraged to serve each time they are at Holy Mass, even if that is by sitting in choir (sitting in server attire and saying the Mass responses).
​
The Altar Server Guild meets every other Monday in the Church, from 5:00 - 6:00 p.m. To sign up, please contact Fr. Stephen at the parish office, 905-358-7611 or by clicking here.
