St. Paul's Within the Walls

Good Friday Liturgy
2024-03-29 19:00 - 20:00 (Europe/Rome) | St. Paul’s Within the Walls, Via Nazionale 16a, Rome
At the Good Friday Liturgy we come together to hear Saint John’s record of the Passion. We pray for the church and for the world in the Solemn Collects. We contemplate the mysteries of the cross, and are invited to approach the foot of the Cross in Adoration. The Holy Eucharist is not celebrated today.
We maintain silence as we come and go. Jesus has been crucified and is brought to the tomb.

A Shining
2024-04-18 19:00 - 20:30
A man starts driving without knowing where he is going. He alternates between turning right and left, and finally he gets stuck at the end of a forest road. Soon it gets dark and starts to snow, but instead of going back to find help, he ventures, foolishly, into the dark forest. Inevitably, the man gets lost, and as he grows cold and tired, he encounters a glowing being amid the obscurity. Strange, haunting and dreamlike, A Shining is the latest work of fiction by Jon Fosse, ‘the Beckett of the twenty-first century’ (Le Monde). (Goodreads)

The Great Divide
2024-05-16 19:00 - 20:30
An epic novel of the construction of the Panama Canal, casting light on the unsung people who lived, loved, and labored there.
It is said that the canal will be the greatest feat of engineering in history. But first, it must be built. For Francisco, a local fisherman who resents the foreign powers clamoring for a slice of his country, nothing is more upsetting than the decision of his son, Omar, to work as a digger in the excavation zone. But for Omar, whose upbringing was quiet and lonely, this job offers a chance to finally find connection.
Ada Bunting is a bold sixteen-year-old from Barbados who arrives in Panama as a stowaway alongside thousands of other West Indians seeking work. Alone and with no resources, she is determined to find a job that will earn enough money for her ailing sister’s surgery. When she sees a young man—Omar—who has collapsed after a grueling shift, she is the only one who rushes to his aid.
John Oswald has dedicated his life to scientific research and has journeyed to Panama in single-minded pursuit of one goal: eliminating malaria. But now, his wife, Marian, has fallen ill herself, and when he witnesses Ada’s bravery and compassion, he hires her on the spot as a caregiver. This fateful decision sets in motion a sweeping tale of ambition, loyalty, and sacrifice.
Searing and empathetic, The Great Divide explores the intersecting lives of activists, fishmongers, laborers, journalists, neighbors, doctors, and soothsayers—those rarely acknowledged by history even as they carved out its course.(Goodreads)

A Celebration of Gospel and Spirituals
by St. Paul’s Choir
with Joseph Draycott, Piano
conducted by Stefano Vasselli

I’m gonna sing
Take me to the water
Let us break bread together
Go tell it on the mountain
Deep river
My Lord, what a morning
Ain’t got time to die
Ride on, King Jesus
My God is a rock
There is a balm in Gilead
Ezekiel saw the wheel
Swingin’ with the saints
Every time I feel the Spirit

and improvisations by Joseph Draycott
