Paul Lysek
Outreach & Development Coordinator
"Hi, I'm Paul! I'm the Outreach & Development Coordinator here at St. Dominic, focusing primarily on the operations of the St. Margaret of Castello Family Center. Before joining the parish staff, I spent most of my career in the hospitality industry, where I developed a deep appreciation for the importance of community and making people feel welcomed and cared for. That work has taken me to Washington DC, New York City, and New Orleans, finally settling in Denver in 2019. Over time, my Catholic faith and a growing call to serve those in need inspired me to bring that same spirit of hospitality to a different kind of work.
I'm grateful to have found that opportunity here at my home parish. What makes the Castello Center so special to me is that its mission extends beyond providing food and essential supplies - it's about recognizing the dignity of every person, building meaningful relationships with our neighbors, and creating a community rooted in compassion and generosity. I'm fortunate to work alongside a wonderful group of volunteers who bring that mission to life each week.
Outside of work, I enjoy listening to classical music and jazz, my volunteer work leading Communion services at Denver County Jail, and (as a Buffalo native) cheering on the Bills, Sabres, and Yankees with my wife Kendall and one-year-old daughter, Lainey."
