Wednesday Within the Walls
2023-11-08 19:00 - 21:00
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 Hunchback of Notre Dame
2024-02-15 19:00 - 20:30
Come and join friends around the world as we meet online for the monthly St. Paul’s Book Club! For February, to celebrate the re-opening of Notre Dame to the public, we are reading Victor Hugo’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
This extraordinary historical French gothic novel, set in Medieval Paris under the twin towers of its greatest structure and supreme symbol, the cathedral of Notre-Dame, is the haunting drama of Quasimodo, the disabled bell-ringer of Notre-Dame, as he struggles to stand up to his ableist guardian Claude Frollo, who also wants to commit genocide against Paris’ Romani population.
The novel has been described as a key text in French literature and has been adapted for film over a dozen times, in addition to numerous television and stage adaptations, such as a 1923 silent film with Lon Chaney, a 1939 sound film with Charles Laughton, and a 1996 Disney animated film with Tom Hulce (both as Quasimodo).
The novel sought to preserve values of French culture in a time period of great change, which resulted in the destruction of many French Gothic structures. The novel made Notre-Dame de Paris a national icon and served as a catalyst for renewed interest in the restoration of Gothic form. (Goodreads)
