Shrove Tuesday/Ash Wednesday

Lent begins on Wednesday February 22.

 

It has long been tradition to, on the day before Lent begins, eat pancakes.  It began as a way to use up all of the fats in the household, which could not be consumed during Lent.

 

We continue the tradition by having a pancake

supper on "Shrove" Tuesday - this year the pancake supper will be February 21 from 5 to 7 p.m.  Everyone is welcome.

 

Ash Wednesday services will be at noon and 7 p.m. on the 22nd.

From the Diocese: A Movie & Conversation

What does the popular 2011 movie "The Help" tell about us about recognizing God's grace to create a more inclusive world? "The Help" will be used as the basis for an exploration of diversity and how one might hold on to their sense of self while being open to others who are different from themselves. 

 

Join us for the movie, snacks, conversation and an opportunity to learn from each other and our diverse perspectives.


Session 1: Wednesday, February 8 from 6 - 9:30 pm

Session 2: Wednesday, February 15 from 6 - 9:30 pm


The movie, to be shown in two parts, will be screened in the upper meeting hall of the Diocesan Center located at 1064 Brighton Road, Tonawanda, NY.


Admission is free, but seating is limited. Pre-registration is required for admission.

St. Paul's on Facebook
Facebook clip artAfter some discussion, the parish office has decided that a Facebook "page"  better suits our purposes than our former group, so we have created one.  Just go HERE, and click "like", and you're all set!  Anything we post will begin showing up in your news feed.
