This project is called “Dress with Dignity,” for the many ways dressing can contribute to the way one feels. From having the basics, enough to shelter oneself, enough to feel safe, to dignified clothes which can make one feel empowered. The idea for this project grew out of Faisal’s, a JNRC volunteer, love of fashion, and the joy he gets from creating outfits and building a universe around them using photography. Faisal has been a volunteer in the supply room and gave advice to the other guests: which colors go well together, how to style an old-fashioned sweater and in general how to get the best out of second-hand clothing. With this project, guests and volunteers work together to create and showcase different outfits!
We hope that you will join us TODAY for this special event that Faisal, JNRC interns and staff, and JNRC guests have created at the JNRC (crypt of St. Paul’s) on Via Napoli, 58 at 2pm.
Bibles and Beer
Our first Bibles and Beer was a success! We discussed the upcoming Gospel over food and drinks. This event will happen every first Wednesday of the month at the Flann O’Brien at 7pm. All are welcome, and we hope to see you next time!

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!
