We are in the process of having a stained glass window designed and fabricated for the lower church at St. Paul in memory of our dear Sr. Tania, the former Religious Education Director at St Paul who passed away in September, 2019. The window will be a depiction of her love and dedication to the children of our parish. We will be collecting donations to help fund this project. Any funds received beyond the cost of the project will go toward the "Pennies for Peru" initiative.

The "Pennies for Peru" initiative began as an effort to get clean usable water to the people of the Fray Martin village in Peru. Last year, the collection from religious education students and parishioners provided $3,135. for the start of the project. Reservoirs were built to bring water closer to the homes of the village families. The button below links to a short video showing the progress of the project.

As we approach Lent, a time for prayer, fasting and almsgiving, "Pennies for Peru" will once again be the beneficiary of the St Paul Religious Education almsgiving. Mrs. Bowler will be in touch with Religious Education families with more details.

If you would like to contribute to the these projects in memory of Sr. Tania, please use the link below or send a check to St. Paul Parish noting "Sr Tania projects" (or "Pennies for Peru" specifically) in the memo line. Thank you for your continued love for Sr. Tania.

Join us virtually this Lent for Presence: The Mystery of the Eucharist

When: Mondays 6:30- 8pm, 4 weeks starting February 22^nd

Although the Eucharist appears to be simple bread and wine, it is actually the “source and summit” of the Christian life. Presence: The Mystery of the Eucharist explores the truth and beauty of Christ’s real presence in the Eucharist, from its origins in Sacred Scripture to its profound role in the life of the Church and its members. The Eucharist is the crescendo of the entire story of salvation.

Fr. Matt Norwood will be leading us in an individual consecration to St. Joseph. We will use Fr. Donald Calloway's book, Consecration to St. Joseph. Based on everyone's interest, the plan is to form small groups among those who would like to make this consecration. Small groups can meet on a weekly basis or however often the group sees fit, and there will be a weekly larger group meeting with Fr. Matt via Zoom to discuss different aspects of the consecration. The consecration will begin on February 15 and end on the Feast of St. Joseph, March 19.
