Welcome to St. Peter Catholic Church! I’m Father Paul Vazhapilly, Administrator for St. Peter Claver and Sacred Heart Parishes.

A little about my background: I was born on January 6, 1970, in Karnataka State, India. My secular education includes bachelor’s and master’s degrees in the arts. For my priestly formation, I earned a Bachelor of Philosophy, a Bachelor of Theology, and a minor in Seminary Formation.

Since my ordination on April 1, 1996, I’ve served the Church in various roles, including assistant parish priest, parish priest (vicar), director, procurator, and chancellor.

My faith is deeply rooted in my family. I come from a devout Catholic home, where one sibling serves as a parish trustee and two sisters have dedicated their lives to religious service as nuns.

I am fluent in English, Malayalam, and Kannada. You can reach me at pvazhappilly@dwc.org. I warmly invite you to join us in celebrating the Eucharist.
