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
