Dear St. Paul’s Family,

A blessed 2024 to all of you! I pray that all of us may daily experience God’s grace this year. I am seeking input, from those who would attend, about a day and time to lead a small group class that will meet for about 1.5–2 hours. If you’re interested, please let me know if Tuesday or Wednesday would be better and if a daytime or night time class would be best. I’m trying to find the best day/time that gets about 6–7 people.

Starting January 14, the Rector’s Study will be reading and discussing “Christian Proficiency” by Martin Thornton. Father Thornton was an English Anglican priest who served in the diocese of Truro, and was canon chancellor of Truro Cathedral. He was born in 1915 (we think) and died in 1986. The book “Christian Proficiency” has been highly recommended by Bishop Martins. You will find it on Amazon for about $18 (the reprint is dated 2010).

Ash Wednesday is Wednesday, February 14. Mass times will be 7:00 am (Low Mass with imposition of ashes—no homily), 12:00 pm (Low Mass with imposition of ashes—no homily), and 7:00 pm (Sung Mass with imposition of ashes).

See you in church!

Fr. Garland
