Faith Feature
Door Closes, Mercy Continues
With the close of the liturgical year on the Solemnity of Christ the King (
Nov. 20
), the
Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy
year also ends. This coming
Sunday, Nov. 13
, the Jubilee Doors in each diocese will close. The Jubilee Door at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome will close on
Nov. 20
.
Students, faculty, and other members of the St. Paul community have made a pilgrimage through the Jubilee Door at the Cathedral of St. Joseph in Hartford to obtain the
Plenary Indulgence for themselves or a deceased loved one during this year.
In their Summer Learning Experience reading, writing, and discussion, St. Paul students reflected on how to live the
spiritual and corporal works of mercy
and how to be the "Church of Mercy" which Pope Francis emphasizes.

Haiti Initiative
Fundraising Reaches $50,000 during
50th Anniversary Year
In September 2011, St. Paul initiated a community-wide outreach effort to reach beyond ourselves in the true spirit of our faith to bring improved health and comfort to some of the poorest people in the western hemisphere.
We are thrilled to announce that we have now raised $50,009 during the last five years through student fundraisers, monthly Mass collections, coin jugs, etc. in support of this Haitian initiative.
Working with the Haitian Health Foundation, we have helped to build two concrete houses in the Makandal slum of Jeremie, Haiti. The last several years, we have assisted the hot lunch program for the nearly 1,000 students in grades K-9 at the St. Pierre School in Jeremie. Recently, $4,000 was sent to assist the relief efforts in the Jeremie area as a result of the devastation caused in October by Hurricane Matthew. Several students, parents and alums have travelled on life-changing summer mission trips with Haiti 180 to volunteer at a local orphanage.
"... whatever you did for one of the least of my brothers, you did it to me."
(Matthew 25:40)
