Hundreds of US religious communities struggle to provide for aging members because most senior Catholic sisters, brothers, and religious order priests served for little pay. Your gift to the Retirement Fund for Religious helps these communities bridge the gap, offering support for medications, nursing care, and other necessities. Please be generous.

CATHOLIC CAMPAIGN FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT - Thank you for your generous support last week for the collection for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development! As a parish, we raised $182 to support those on the margins who are living in poverty in the United States. If you missed the collection, it's not too late to give! RETIREMENT FUND FOR RELIGIOUS- Help our elders. In good times and in bad, senior Catholic sisters, brothers, and religious order priests have dedicated themselves to service and acts of mercy. Today, they pray for an aching world. Yet years of serving for little or no pay have left their religious communities without enough retirement savings. Your gift to the Retirement Fund for Religious helps provide medications, nursing care, and other necessities. Please be generous. This collection will be taken December 5/6, 2020. Checks may be made payable to St. Paul Parish, included RFR on the memo line. MASS ATTENDANCE AND SIGN UP CHANGE- Beginning Wednesday, November 18 we will be restricted to 25 people at Mass per Governor Brown's latest mandate. Once again we will need each person who would like to attend either of the weekend Masses to sign up by PHONE OR EMAIL.
