Rice Bowl 2023: Little Eden Society
 

Each year the ecumenical group of English speaking churches in Rome (Churches Together in Rome) join together in raising funds for a joint project during the season of Lent. This year’s chosen project is the Little Eden Society based in South Africa. 

The Society cares for 300 children and adults with profound intellectual disabilities, ranging from three to over 70 years of age. 

Little Eden aims to develop persons with intellectual disabilities to their full potential and to encourage the community to recognise that each such person is whole and complete created by God with a mind, a body, a spirit, a soul.

For more information on the Society you can visit their website. Donations can be made directly through their website, or through St. Paul’s – by putting your donation (in a clearly marked envelope) in the Offering plate on Sundays, or by using the Tithe.ly link.

The Joel Nafuma Refugee Center has Arabic and French classes open to the host community – that’s you!
We would love to see a few faces from the St Pauls community at the next classes,
it’s not too late to join 🙂 

 
Arabic: Monday 12 – 13 
French: Thursday 11:30 – 13 
The aim of these classes is to bring together refugees, asylum seekers, vulnerable migrants, Italian nationals and internationals, in order to facilitate the successful integration of our guests in Rome.

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!
