Food Pantry Collection
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! Paper products that is.
The Food Pantry was very appreciative of St. Paul’s generous donation last month of toilet
paper, paper towels, personal care products and cleaning supplies. Let’s make it snow one more time before spring arrives on March 20, by bringing a donation to church this Sunday, March 3rd. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Scam Alert!
At the Dean's Council meeting with the bishops, Father Max learned that parishioners in some of our congregations have received emails using their clergy's name and email address to appeal for funds for realistic-sounding emergencies. Please do not respond to the scam messages.

Movie night in the Parish House Thursday, March 7th !
Doors open at 6:30 PM Movie starts at 7 PM

Featured movie The Lion in Winter starring Katharine Hepburn and Peter O’Toole ,depicts the personal and political intrigue of Henry II of England, his strong-willed wife Eleanor of Aquitaine (whom Henry has imprisoned in a remote castle), their children and guests during Christmas 1183.
Next movie night will be Arsenic and Old Lace on Wednesday, March 27th. Oscar winner Cary Grant stars as a drama critic whose life is turned upside down when he discovers his two spinster aunts have taken to poisoning their gentlemen house guests. A great blend of crime mixed with comedy mixed with suspense.
