These are pictures from the beginning of the year. You will see Baptism, First Communion and Confirmation celebrations, plus other shots of events, and parish life in general. I will keep adding more pictures as the year progresses.
Big thanks goes out to Juan Aquino, our bulletin editor, who let me scan his photo collection!! He has taken parish photos from 2007 to present, and I urge everyone to ask him to show them to you.

Rose Roni is a decorator and sacristan volunteer.
2010-05-24
Rose Roni has been a parishioner of St. Paul for 43 years, and after raising her family, she started volunteering and answering the calls for help at church.
This began ten years ago when Roger Ford, who used to do all the decorations of the church for many years, had put out a call for help in decorating. Rose answered that call. She had gone to floristry school before, and by volunteering in decorating she knew she would be able to apply her skills. And indeed, we have witnessed the beauty of her decorating talents, every church season, especially Christmas and Easter! In the last four years, another call for help in the Sacristan Ministry was put out by Jackie Finkel, and Rose again answered the call to volunteer. She now helps do the preparations for before and after the Sunday 8:30am mass and for other liturgies in the church season.
When I asked her what she gets out of volunteering she says, "I feel that I'm doing it for God. I feel I'm contributing what I can."
I asked Rose if she still needed help in decorating the church, she says,
"Many hands are always needed. Often [new volunteers] feel like they're stepping on your toes. That's not the way it is at all. We welcome help and we've gotten some new people to come in… New hands are always welcome. We're getting older and older here. We need new blood and I saw , like at the luau, we have some new younger people coming in and they're enthusiastic…we have to pass it on."
If you are interested in helping out with the church decorating, especially for Christmas and Easter for doing ladder work, you can call Rose at 206-722-4040. To volunteer as Sacristan, call Bridget Lunning at 206-725-2050. Sacristan work is easy to learn but it requires some training.
