Adult Confirmation and Enquirers’ Retreat

Adults are invited to take part in a one-day Confirmation and Enquirers’ Retreat on Saturday, October 1.

Sunday Forums this Fall: The Symbols of the Faith

Beginning on September 18, join the clergy of St. Paul’s between 10:15-11:00 a.m. in the Chapel for an introduction to the core symbols of our faith. Think of it as a way to familiarize ourselves with the things we take for granted in the liturgy: just why is water so important to baptism? How, of all the things we could eat, did bread and wine become so essential to the core convening ritual of our faith?
