 Divine
Mercy Novena
"Jesus, I
trust in you!"
Each day at 3 pm, the hour of mercy, we will
continue to pray our Novena to Divine Mercy
in the Santo Nino shrine. Jesus said to St.
Faustina:
"I desire that
during these nine days you bring souls to the fount
of My mercy, that they may draw strength and
refreshment and whatever graces they need in the
hardships of life, and, especially at the hour of
death.

school, or work, click on:

 Together,
we at St. Paul's can fully participate in the
mission of the Catholic Church by our contribution
to the Annual Pastoral Appeal.
We ask you to support the many needed ministries,
services, and programs of our Diocese that fulfill
the physical, educational and spiritual needs of so
many that we could not serve at our parish alone.
Be the Light! Sea la Luz!
to the many who are in need of help.
Many of your questions
may be answered by watching this year's APA video.
