Archbishop Blair Calls Hartford to Evangelization
In a videotaped
homily distributed to all parishes in the Hartford Archdiocese this past weekend, Archbishop Leonard Blair invited all the faithful to more active
 participation in missionary discipleship.
Entitled simply "Evangelization," the
Archbishop's homily noted the challenges of the contemporary Christian landscape, especially in our region, and asked, "Do we feel any responsibility for bringing people Christ and His Church?" The Archbishop gave reasons for hope and encouraged us to move "from maintenance to mission."
Acknowledging that this time of transformation in the Archdiocese is also one of "grace and new possibilities," Archbishop Blair suggested, "If a new parish with a new name comes together with everyone as equals-no winners and losers-then new energy, creativity and growth is possible."
We are grateful to our local shepherd for the gift of our two co-chaplains, Father Gary Simeone and Father Hector Rangel-Guerrera.

WJMJ Daily Mass
St. Paul students were honored to be part of the WJMJ daily mass last week with one of our co-chaplains, Father Hector. We are so proud of all of our St. Paul
students, they are so talented and enthusiastic about their faith!
Take a look at the daily mass from last week and see for yourself!

UPDATE: St. Paul Catholic High School

Install Air Conditioning in Auditorium -

Two Critical Objectives Remain:
1) Replace the 50-year old gymnasium floor and bleachers
2) Establish a meaningful endowment fund,
creating a solid foundation for the next 50 years.
In order to complete the gym renovations next summer (when students are out of the building due to asbestos removal) and significantly enhance our endowment fund, we are tipping off our next phase of the Capital Campaign and calling it
"The 4th Quarter Fast Break"!
If you haven't yet contributed to the 50th Anniversary Capital Campaign, we
encourage you to do so now. If you have already given, we sincerely thank you and ask you to consider adding to your gift. God bless you for your thoughtfulness and generosity.
