Happy Fall to All of Our Students and Families!

We are off to a fantastic start in our return to Religious Education. Our program has much larger numbers than last year and it is so nice to see everyone again and to welcome many new families. This initial newsletter is filled with important information about upcoming events and many wonderful opportunities for you to grow in your own faith.

On Saturday, October 16th , parishes around the AOD will be celebrating Mercy in Action Day by doing different works of Mercy. At St. Paul, we will be “praying for the living and the dead,” which is a Spiritual Work of Mercy. All students participated in a prayer activity in class this week and created a commitment card for a person they chose to pray for in preparation for Mercy in Action Day. Please remind your child to complete this Spiritual Work on Saturday!

First Communion Families - Parents please plan to attend the First Reconciliation ZOOM meeting on Monday, November 15th from 6:45 - 7:30 p.m.
