Upcoming Events at St Paul's
St. Paul’s Marian Society
A small group gathered in our chapel on August 15 to observe the Feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary and afterwards met to discuss forming a group to foster a devotion to Our Lady in our parish. While the exaclt form of the group is still taking shape its name will be St. Paul's Marian Society and will meet at least once a month on or near the feasts of Our Lady. The Society will meet next on September 9 to commemorate the Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Evening Prayer will again be said at 5.30 and a Eucharist celebrated at 6.00pm. As before, a meeting will follow. For more information see Martin Brown or Fr. Luis.
Closure of St. Paul's
Child Development Center
By now most will be aware of the decision to close the Child Development Center. Its last day of operation will be Friday, August 30. This was not an easy decision to make, but in light of the financial situation it was felt to be the best one.
While endings can be difficult, all is being done to make this transition as smooth as possible. If you would like to read more about the closure click here.
If you have any questions, please speak with Fr. Luis or a member of the Bishop’s Committee.
