St. Paul’s hosted its fourth monthly “free laundry” event at Holdgates Laundromat on February 14. Providing each patron tickets good for four loads of laundry, StP assisted 18 families at a cost of $471 in washer and dryer fees.
St. Paul’s will fund its fifth free laundry event at Holdgates Laundromat on Wednesday, March 14, between 230 pm and 430 pm. Since two of our Outreach Committee members will be in Cuba on that date, we would appreciate having additional volunteers. If you can help, please advise the church office.
Further, if you know someone who would benefit from being able to wash and dry their laundry without cost, please advise them of the March 14 date and time.

Cuba News
St. Paul’s has been awarded a $10,000 Matching Grant from the Diocese of MA,
designated for Global Mission. This jump-starts our sponsorship of Iglesia de San
Juan Evangelista in Vertientes, in an enormous way!
The March 8-17 Cuba mission: install a water purification system for SJE, which
will supply the public as well. Free of charge.
Three churches in the Diocese have joined us, each parish raising $2,500 to match
this Grant. Dear St. Paul’s, help us match this goal.
Donations are tax-deductible
YOU make a difference, Island to Island
