Dear Friends, The last two Sundays were bitter cold, so here’s hoping this Sunday will be a bit warmer.

It is just under an hour in length, but well worth the…
In this week’s Hope for the Journey, Fr. Javier reflects on songwriting and the art of reading Scripture: “Sometimes, it is easier to find answers about how things work than to discover why things are the way they are… [Scripture] doesn’t always provide us clear answers, but it does help us ask better questions.”
On the day of our Annual Meeting in November, Fr. George delivered a message of resilience and gratitude, reflecting on how people stepped up in a time of change and uncertainty to carry on the mission of St. Paul’s. Listen again to who we are as a community and what we are poised to do…
