JNRC Update

The JNRC’s 2022 Annual Report is out! Read the thoughts of Father Austin, who is also the Executive Director of JNRC, about the work done at the center throughout 2022 and learn about the different activities developed there.

“We in the JNRC are uncompromising in our belief that by recognition of our common humanity, and by a willingness to both listen to each other and walk with one another, we can begin to move toward the greater rebuilding and healing of our shared world. Whether we arrive in the JNRC as a guest who has fled persecution in a home country, a student volunteer who has come to Rome for a season to serve, a staff member who knows both the hard refugee road and the balm of a now stable life, or an Italian citizen who is threatened by the arrival of peoples from foreign lands, our collective destiny as a species depends upon us finding ways to know, respect, and even love one another.”

Live & Give


What is it about St. Paul’s that feeds and nourishes you? 

Is it our beautiful building, or the wonderful choir and organ music that accompanies the Sunday Eucharist? Is it the joy of sharing in prayer and quiet contemplation with people from all over the world, or how we embrace cultural, ethnic and linguistic diversity? Is it the warmth of our invitations to shared meals, the rich nightly concert programs, or our daily offerings of safety and resources for refugees and migrants?

Whatever your response, we invite you to share with us in keeping alive those things you value at St. Paul’s.

During this season of Epiphany, we want to make sure you have the opportunity to participate no matter how large or small your gift is. There is still time to fill out your giving estimate! Cards are in the church and can be filled in and placed in the offering plate, or you can use the online form!
