Saint Paul Catholic Parish, Athens

November Server Schedule

On November 23-24, see a new Shroud of Turin exhibit at St. Joseph in Florence. The exhibit is in the parish hall Saturday 4pm to 7pm and Sunday 8am to 7pm.  This is the exhibit that was shown to ~10,000 people at the National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis this summer. 

Christmas is coming up fast!  SPCW is collecting food items for the Christmas Giving program.  Please take a grocery bag with listed needed items stapled located near each church door, and return by December 16.

SPCW will have its giving tree up in the vestibule on November 23.  We are helping several families in need at our church and in the community.  Please take a "star" ornament with items needed from the tree and return it to the vestibule by December 16.  Your generosity is greatly appreciated to help those in need.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the last food sale.  We were able to raise $3500 to donate for St. Paul Catholic School.
