Welcome

We are the Young Adult Community of the Church of St. Paul the Apostle in New York City. As adults in our 20s and 30s, we strive for a faithful response to the call from Jesus Christ in the contemporary world. We seek a faith life inspired by the Gospels and informed by our Catholic tradition.  

We encourage a mature spirituality through prayer and liturgy. We promote social justice by serving those with little or no voice. As one community in faith, we look forward to growing closer to Christ by growing closer to each other.

Get involved! Meet us after the 5:15pm Sunday Mass at St. Paul the Apostle (60th & Columbus), or email youngadults@stpaultheapostle.org

Apostolist Music

St Paul Young Adult Choir, along the Apostolist Ensemble, sings and plays for the Sunday 5:15 pm Mass every week at the Church of St Paul the Apostle. Under the musical direction of Garrett Taylor, we select and perform both well-known traditional hymns as well as contemporary Catholic liturgical music.

We also feature original mass parts and psalm settings by resident composer Christopher Tse, including the Mass of Conversion, which has in rotation here since 2009. Mass of Conversion is available on this site via a Creative Commons license. We encourage other parishes to download, adapt, and perform these settings in their music ministries.

We will periodically post recordings and videos here on this site. If you are interested in joining either the choir or the band, sign up via this online form. Hope to see you at 5:15 pm!

The song is written by Christopher Tse and Isabel Rivera (artist site). Isabel also recorded a studio version of this song:
