A New Year, A New Way to Make the World a Better
Place for Someone in Need…
Reaching Out to the Homebound
As members of a community we need contact with each
other. We worship together every Sunday, but there
are those who cannot celebrate mass with us because
of illness or immobility. If you know of anyone who
is sick or homebound please call the Parish Center
and let us know. Please leave a message for Deacon
Wally Sandoval (212-265-3495 ext. 337). If someone
you see at mass every week hasn't been here, tell
one of the priests or a member of the parish staff.
It's important that we keep in touch with
parishioners who are cut off from us. You can help
by keeping us informed. Thanks for your care and
concern. God Bless. - Fr Gil
Soup’s On!
Loaves and Fishes is
serving lunch every Tuesday. We are looking for
people to help serve. We need four volunteers a week
for a two hour lunch, work from 11:00 a.m. - 1:00
p.m.. Bring a group of co-workers, or friends, or
we will match you with a group. It’s a wonderful
ministry of hospitality. Please sign up in the
Welcome Center or contact us at
welcomecenter@stpaultheapostle.org Get to meet
someone new.
Donate a pot of soup for
$30 to feed 20 people! If you can’t share your
talents by serving at the soup kitchen, maybe
you could share your abundance by donating
enough to make a pot of soup. The number of our
guests coming for lunch is growing each week by
about 15%. We are now serving about 60 people a
week. Our guests are truly appreciative for
this lunch. We serve good food with hospitality
and dignity. Just think, if you and a friend
gave up going out for lunch once a week, you
could feed 20 people. You can drop off your
donation in the Welcome Center or mark your
check with pot of soup in the memo and
send it to Church of St. Paul the Apostle,
Loaves and Fish Soup kitchen, 405 West 59th
