Faith Feature
St. Paul Respects Life
About 40 students in St. Paul uniform represented our school community at the annual archdiocesan Respect Life Mass on Sunday, Oct. 9 at the Cathedral of St. Joseph. Many students rode the bus with President Cary Dupont and Religion Chair Larry Duffany, who also proclaimed the second reading. Other students attended with family members. St. Paul students stood to recite a Pledge to Protect Life during a commissioning ceremony before the dismissal of Mass. Archbishop Blair thanked the students and expressed his desire to see representation from other archdiocesan schools as well.
 The entire St. Paul student body recited the Pledge to Protect Life during our Monday Morning Assembly on Oct. 17.
The "Choose Life" candle and the St. Gianna Beretta Molla Pro-Life Award which St. Paul received previously are on display on the altar in our
Reverend Edmund O'Brien chapel.
All are welcome to visit the chapel throughout the week,
including for our Thursday morning Mass at 7:15 am.
