The previous week has been an eventful one! On Saturday, we held a workshop for the Together event about refugees in Italy and the work of JNRC in partnership with the International Organization of Migration (IOM). Following the workshop, members of St. Paul’s attended the opening of the exhibition for the 50th Anniversary of the John Moorman Library at the Anglican Centre. Later, we joined people from all Christian backgrounds at the Ecumenical Prayer Vigil in St. Peter’s Square.
On Sunday, we celebrated the 31st Anniversary of the Latin American Community! There were traditional dances, plays, food, and music. We pray for many more years of this ministry!
Also on Sunday, Daughters of the King hosted a “Prayers for Healing”. These prayer opportunities will now occur every first Sunday of the month after the 10:30 Eucharist.
Finally, on Wednesday we hosted the European premiere of “A Case for Love” inspired by the teachings of Bishop Michael Curry!
Bibles and Beer
This coming Wednesday, October 11th, we will host our first “Bibles and Beer”! We will meet at the Flan O’Brien (across Via Napoli from St. Paul’s) at 7pm to discuss the upcoming Gospel lesson while we enjoy food and drinks. All are welcome!

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.
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!
