In 1860, a group of devoted Catholics founded Johnson County's first parish, St. Paul, in a humble home near Olathe North High School. Over 160 years, our parish has grown and relocated several times but has maintained its faith in Jesus Christ and love for neighbors.
Today, St. Paul stands as the second-largest parish in the Archdiocese and launched our New Church Project to accommodate the rapidly expanding community. The new church, designed with Romanesque and Spanish Colonial elements, features towering stained glass windows, a beautiful altar, a dedicated Adoration Chapel, and much more.
We're thrilled to announce that in one year, the generous St. Paul community pledged an incredible $15 million dollars towards our new church. We're deeply grateful to the hundreds of families who've already supported this important project.
We need your help to cross the finish line and break ground on this sacred church.

May God bless you, and may God bless St. Paul Parish.
Thank you!
