Welcoming Fr. Joseph Uzar as Pastor of St. Paul of the Cross Parish

We are excited to share joyful news with our community: Bishop David Zubik will officially install Father Joseph Uzar as the new pastor of St. Paul of the Cross Parish during the 4:00 PM Vigil Mass on Saturday, July 12th, at Saint Anne Church.

This special liturgy marks an important moment not only for Fr. Joe but for the entire parish family. The Installation Mass is a sacred tradition in the Catholic Church, where the bishop formally entrusts the pastoral leadership of a parish to a new shepherd. It is a powerful witness of continuity and community.

All parishioners, families, and friends are warmly invited to attend and support Fr. Joe as he begins his ministry at St. Paul of the Cross. A reception will follow immediately after the Mass, offering a wonderful opportunity to personally greet Fr. Joe and share in fellowship.

As members of Knights of Columbus Council 3084, which serves St. Paul of the Cross and its parishioners, we are honored to be part of this joyous occasion. We encourage all brother Knights and their families to attend, support, and pray for Fr. Joe as he leads the parish forward in faith and service.

Let’s come together as a community to offer Fr. Joe a heartfelt and warm welcome!
