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.

My Friends
2024-03-21 19:00 - 20:30
Come and join friends around the world as we meet online for the monthly St. Paul’s Book Club! In March we are reading My Friends by Hisham Matar.
One evening, as a young boy growing up in Benghazi, Khaled hears a bizarre short story read aloud on the radio, about a man being eaten alive by a cat, and has the sense that his life has been changed forever. Obsessed by the power of those words—and by their enigmatic author, Hosam Zowa—Khaled eventually embarks on a journey that will take him far from home, to pursue a life of the mind at the University of Edinburgh.
There, thrust into an open society that is miles away from the world he knew in Libya, Khaled begins to change. He attends a protest against the Qaddafi regime in London, only to watch it explode into tragedy. In a flash, Khaled finds himself injured, clinging to life, unable to leave Britain, much less return to the country of his birth. To even tell his mother and father back home what he has done, on tapped phone lines, would expose them to danger.
When a chance encounter in a hotel brings Khaled face-to-face with Hosam Zowa, the author of the fateful short story, he is subsumed into the deepest friendship of his life. It is a friendship that not only sustains him but eventually forces him, as the Arab Spring erupts, to confront agonizing tensions between revolution and safety, family and exile, and how to define his own sense of self against those closest to him.
A devastating meditation on friendship and family, and the ways in which time tests—and frays—those bonds, My Friends is an achingly beautiful work of literature by an author working at the peak of his powers. (Goodreads)

Palm Sunday
2024-03-24 09:45 - 11:30
This day the service begins with an Ecumenical Procession starting with the Liturgy of the Palms at San Lorenzo in Panisperna. We gather at 09.45 (Via S. Lorenzo in Panisperna 90) and process with our brothers and sisters from S. Vitale up via Nazionale to St. Paul’s.
Today the Palm Sunday Gospel is read in which we hear about Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem.
The people cry Hosanna (an exclamation or shout of praise to God) and spread Palms and garments in the path of Jesus. We process into the church with Palms and olive branches in joy and excitement.
At the Eucharist the mood changes and focuses on the Passion of Christ. The somber nature is reflected
in the Passion Gospel. We are all part of this great drama. The truth of this day is that we are all responsible through our sins for the Passion and Death of our Lord. The glory of the day is that we know by faith the truth of the Resurrection and the promise of everlasting life “with him who suffered and died for us, and rose again”.

Tenebrae
2024-03-27 19:00 - 20:00 | St. Paul’s Within the Walls, Via Nazionale 16a, Rome
This ancient service was used throughout the Catholic monastic world for many, many centuries during Holy Week. Consisting almost entirely of Scriptural readings, it is a meditation on the sorrows, the profundity and the hopes involved in the Passion of Christ. It is in this way that we too, in a shortened form of the original service, have decided to use it.
The Antiphons (fragments of the readings meant to pinpoint an aspect of its spiritual message) and the psalms are read by all, while the Officiant and the Cantors read or sing certain passages as the candles are gradually put out until total darkness prevails; after which a dramatic reminder of the Resurrection is given.
There are no scheduled readers for this service; we invite you to join in as fully as possible, and to read and come forward to extinguish candles as you feel the spirit move.

Maundy Thursday
2024-03-28 19:00 - 20:00 | St. Paul’s Within the Walls, Via Nazionale 16a, Rome
Maundy Thursday, three days before Easter, is when we celebrate the Institution of the Eucharist (the Last Supper) and the washing of feet as a sign of humility. The word ‘Maundy’ comes from the Latin ‘mandatum novum’, (new commandment) from John 13:34.
At the end of the service the altar is stripped and all decorative furnishings are removed from the church. The church will remain open for prayer until 10pm.
Join us at 7pm: all are welcome.

Stations of the Cross
2024-03-29 12:00 - 13:00 | St. Paul’s Within the Walls, Via Nazionale 16a, Rome
12pm – Stations of the Cross
On Good Friday we take up the Cross and follow Jesus’ footsteps through the events of his Passion in a series of meditations and prayers. For the Stations we use a series of pictures by Peter Rockwell.

Good Friday Liturgy
2024-03-29 19:00 - 20:00 | 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.

The Great Vigil of Easter
2024-03-30 20:30 - 22:00 | St. Paul’s Within the Walls, Via Nazionale 16a, Rome
On the Eve of Easter, we kindle a fire, light the Paschal Candle, remember the Passover of the Lord and celebrate his victory over death. Join us at 8.30pm in the garden.
