e-Tithing and Active Parishioner Status
St. Paul parish families have been asked to consider setting up electronic contributions to the church. The question arose about the effect of this on the tracking of active parishioner status for tuition purposes which is done by the use of contribution envelopes. The decision was made by the St. Paul Finance Committee to no longer require empty envelopes to be placed in the collection if a family is tithing through electronic contributions.
Welcome Archbishop Tobin!
The new Archbishop will be celebrating liturgy at St. Mary of the Knobs on Tuesday, January 29th at 7:00 p.m. Prelude music by the Deanery Choir will begin at 6:15, and a reception will follow the Mass in Geis Hall. Families in the Deanery are encouraged to attend. Students that go are asked to wear their uniform or something that identifies them as a St. Paul Catholic School student.

Volunteers Needed - Monday, January 28th
We are in need of a few parent volunteers to help with Raise Your Voice for the Hungry on Monday, January 28th. All you would need to do is come to school at 1:45 and put already boxed up canned goods in your vehicle and drive them over to the Sellersburg Food Pantry. You will just drop off the boxes and you are free to go! You do not need to unload or sort anything! If you could help us out we would really appreciate it! Please email Mrs. Chrisco at achrisco@stpaulk6.org if you can help. Thanks!
