Church of San Paolo Apostolo

The Church of San Paolo Apostolo, 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 conferences in the desert.
The undoubtedly creative interior furnishings 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, Monsignor Angelo Calabretta. The inauguration and the consequent consecration were blessed by the bishop, Mons. Salvatore Nicolosi, with the liturgical furnishings taken care of 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 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.
Curious detail: the parish has a triple social profile, widely followed by the faithful: Facebook, Instagram and Tik Tok.
