2023-2024 Works of Mercy Report

Dear St. Paul Parishioners,

I'm proud to report this Works of Mercy Summary which records how generous St. Paul Parish was over the last year. As pastor, I am filled with a spirit of gratitude for all of you for being so kind and compassionate.

Once again, St. Paul Parish has responded to the needs of our fellow brothers and sisters by making this the most generous year ever in the history of the parish. Thank you very much!

May God bless you and your loved ones!
Fr. Michael Hermes, Pastor
