We are happy and blessed to announce that Kathy Giannini joined our parish family October 17, as St. Paul’s new Director of Youth Ministry. Kathy has worked in the Youth Ministry program of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Vancouver, Washington from where she is relocating. She will join us officially October 17, and plans to be at Masses that weekend to begin meeting our St. Paul’s family and youth. We are also so grateful for our many brothers and sisters who have jumped in and started our new Youth and Confirmation Program and provide continuous support to our teens.
This weekend we will celebrate World Mission Sunday. Its theme this year, is “Mercy Changes the World.: Pope Francis invites the entire Church to support the young Mission dioceses in Africa, Asia, the Pacific Islands, and parts of Latin America and Europe, where priests, religious and lay leaders serve some of the poorest of the poor. Please keep the Mission in your prayers and be generous in next week’s collection for the Society of the Propagation of the Faith.
