Saturday, May 17: Veterans Memorial Mass at the 4:00pm Vigil at St. Paul

All military veterans and their families are cordially invited to attend a special Veterans Memorial Mass at St. Paul Church at 4:00pm on Saturday, May 17. Organized by the Wellesley Veterans’ Council, this annual event brings Wellesley veterans together as part of the annual Wellesley Wonderful Weekend. Veterans are invited (but not required!) to wear their uniforms and gather in the St. Paul foyer to process in with the celebrant to reserved seats at the front of the church.

During the Mass we will remember those veterans from Wellesley who gave their lives for our country.

Fr. Jim’s Message to St. Paul Parish

Fr. Jim’s Message to St. Paul Parish

An important message from Fr. Jim to the St. Paul community, offering a reflection as he enters his tenth year as our pastor and sharing details about the parish’s financial health.  

Fr. Jim offers a glimpse of the Holy Spirit’s work of renewal in our parish, and invites us to consider how each of us is being called to support this work in real and tangible ways.

Thank you for taking the time to watch the video, carefully read the St. Paul Annual Financial Report and Annual Appeal that was recently mailed to all registered parishioners, and to consider the Spirit’s invitation to renewal at this time in your own life and the life of our parish.

Please Support Your Parish Annual Appeal

Please Support Your Parish Annual Appeal

This year, in the midst of all that is going on in our world and our church, St. John-St. Paul Collaborative is focusing on the theme of Renewal. From our Adult Faith Enrichment Programming to our Family Faith Formation Program, renewal is afoot. We are blessed by a vibrancy in our parishes that stems from our newest parishioner to those who have been a critical part of this community for many years. From the youngest to the oldest, the work of renewal is all ours to do. This is work we do WITH God and FOR God.

This week all registered parishioners will receive both physical and electronic mailings regarding this year’s annual appeal. These messages and reports offer a glimpse of the Holy Spirit’s work in our Collaborative. They are also an invitation to consider how each of us is being called to support this work in real and tangible ways…

With Gratitude to Dr. Elizabeth “Betty” Rock

With Gratitude to Dr. Elizabeth “Betty” Rock

Since 2023, St. Paul Parish has received over $95,000 from the estate of Dr. Elizabeth “Betty” Rock, a longtime St. Paul parishioner who passed away in 2022.

Dr. Rock joined the faculty at Wellesley College in 1959 and was a Professor of Chemistry there until her retirement in 1992. She was a beloved teacher to generations of students and a treasured mentor to faculty throughout the College. She was also a longtime member of the U.S. Army Science Board (ASB), one of only a handful of women who served at the time she became involved. According to an ASB spokesperson, “Her reputation and her work on the ASB leave a legacy that will never be forgotten.”

The Parish is most grateful for Dr. Rock’s kindness, and her bequest will benefit St. Paul Parish for many years to come.
