Sundays – Weekly – Upcoming Events – Commit – Get Involved
Welcome to St. Paul’s Within the Walls, the multi-cultural, multi-lingual Episcopal church in the heart of Rome. The main focus of our outreach ministry is the Joel Nafuma Refugee Center (JNRC), offering services to refugees and asylum seekers.
Each Sunday
We would love the chance to talk to each one of you, so please join us in the garden for coffee before and after the Eucharist.
- For our younger members and visitors, there is a Children’s Corner with toys, books and coloring sheets near the wooden pulpit. Feel free to use it!
- On the first Sunday of each month, our clergy, members of the prayer groups and Daughters of the King offer prayers for healing at the Altar steps during the Postlude. If you would like prayers for yourself or for someone else, please approach one of the teams and give them your name and your request.
- If you are looking for somewhere to have lunch, why not join us at the Quirinale Hotel? (€15 for a first course, water and coffee, full menu also available).

The Power of Commitment
Things you probably knew:
- Saint Paul’s Within the Walls has been present in Rome for over 150 years, and was the first non-Roman Catholic church ever built within the ancient walls of the city.
- Every year the Joel Nafuma Refugee Center, a ministry of Saint Paul’s, helps more than 20,000 refugees with nutrition assistance, clothing, language acquisition, job skills training, all in ways that affirm the basic dignity of every person we serve.
- Saint Paul’s is the center of ecumenical conversations between the Episcopal Church and the other major Christian communions and confessions in the world.
Things you probably didn’t know:
- Saint Paul’s receives no support from the Episcopal Church in the United States or from the American government.
- Saint Paul’s receives no support from the government of Italy.
- Everything we do here to witness to the reconciling love of Christ depends on you and the people sitting around you this morning.
Every day, sustaining the ministry of this church costs €2,170.
It doesn’t matter if the city of Rome is your home, if it is a place you call home for a few months a year, or today is the only day you will ever join us here—you can be part of the remarkable ministry of this place by committing today to support Saint Paul’s this year.
We invite you today to join us in making a commitment to support the life and work of this remarkable place.
God is calling us to transform by love world torn apart by hatred and broken by war. Together, we can. Click here to make your commitment!
