Message From Father RubenDear Friends in Christ,Prayer Blanket Blessings
Every St. Paul the Apostle family has now received an invitation to participate in the
Encountering Christ campaign and had many weeks to discern their personal gift. This
weekend, we invite you to place your pledge commitment card into the collection basket with
the weekly offering or bring to the office. To date we have $378,277 pledged towards our
$545,000 target from 73 parish members. One of our goals is to have 100 percent response
from our parishioners.
On behalf of our children, seminarians, clergy, faith formation educators and programs, campus
ministry, teachers, and so many more, I ask that you spend time in prayer regarding the impact
of your gift to Encountering Christ. God has blessed each of our lives in unique ways, and I pray
God will help you see the faces of the people your gift will impact and provide you with a
personal Encounter with Christ.
May God bless you and your loved ones abundantly.

A Word from Servant of God Isaac Hecker, Founder of the Paulist Fathers
“It cannot be too often repeated to the men of this generation, so many of whom are trying to banish and forget God, that God, and God alone, is the Creator and Renewer of the world. The same God who made all things, and who became man, and began the work of regeneration, is the same who really acts in the church now upon men and society, and who has pledged His word to continue to do so until the end of the world.” (Church and the Age. 1887)
If you have asked Father Hecker to pray for you or another person who is ill, and you believe something miraculous has happened, please phone Father Paul Robichaud, CSP, at 202-269-2519 and tell him your story.
