St. Paul's Within the Walls

Wednesday Within the Walls
2023-11-08 19:00 - 21:00 (Europe/Rome)
Join us for a quiet evening of prayer and reflection. We begin at 7pm with evening prayers on the Second Floor of Via Napoli 58, followed by a simple supper, which we eat while listening to spiritual readings. Afterwards there is time to share reflections or just chat. This is an excellent opportunity to introduce your friends to a Christian environment outside the formal setting of the Eucharist.
Wednesday Within the Walls takes place every Wednesday except the first week of the month. The event is multilingual, and everyone is welcome.

The Refugee Ocean
2023-11-16 19:00 - 20:30
Come and join friends around the world as we meet online for the monthly St. Paul’s Book Club! November’s book is The Refugee Ocean by Pauls Toutonghi.
Two refugees find that their lives are inextricably linked—over time and distance—by the perils of history and a single haunting piece of music.
Born in Beirut in 1922, Marguerite Toutoungi lives a life of loss and sacrifice. She dreams of traveling to Europe and studying music at the Conservatoire de Paris but her family—and her society—hold her back. When she meets the son of a Cuban tobacco farmer at a formal dance, love transforms her life. Together with him, she flees across the Pacific Ocean. She’s hoping for a new beginning. Instead, she finds revolution and chaos.
Over fifty years later, Naïm Rahil is a teenage refugee from Aleppo, Syria. A former piano prodigy who struggles to thrive in America—and who has lost part of his hand in the war—he dreams of a simple, normal life.
Moving from Aleppo on the brink of civil war, to Lebanon in the late 1940s, to Havana during the Cuban Revolution, to the suburbs of Washington, DC, The Refugee Ocean grapples with what it means to be an immigrant, shows how wounds can heal, and highlights the role of music and art in the resilience of the human spirit.
