Church of "San Paolo Apostolo"

The Church of St. Paul the Apostle, built on land donated in 1967 by Mrs. Domenica Giardina, is located in the neighborhood of the same name. The author of the project is the engineer Concetto Russo. The original architectural configuration recalls the large tent of Jewish meetings in the desert.
The interior furnishings of undoubted creativity are the work of the Sicilian friar Alfredo Farina.
Farina embellished the liturgical space because he wanted, in this way, to announce the Gospel, to pray and praise God. The ecclesial community went from meeting in a garage, in the very early days, to the laying of the first stone desired by the bishop of Noto, Mons. Angelo Calabretta. The inauguration and subsequent consecration were blessed by the bishop, Mons. Salvatore Nicolosi, with the liturgical furnishings curated by the parish priests of recent years: Fr. Marcellino Pane ofm, Don Pietro Agosta and Don Michele Iacono, in total synergy with the parish vicars and the many benefactors and all the faithful.
For the fiftieth anniversary of the inauguration of the parish, the current parish priest, Don Michele Iacono, has published a book that traces the history of the parish located in the neighborhood of the same name.
A curious detail: the parish has a triple social profile, very followed by the faithful: Facebook, Instagram and Tik Tok.
