Operation Backpack: Success!

A backpack salute to all of St. Paul's members and friends who donated to St. Paul's Operation Backpack this year. St. Paul's donation of 226 backpacks was part of the backpack distribution to nearly 3000 children and teens of Samaritan House clients that took place last weekend. What a gift for them to start the school year with new backpacks filled with school supplies.

Thank you for your generosity and caring!

Choir of St. Paul’s July 2022 Residency 

at Wells Cathedral, England

​

The Choir of St. Paul’s was in residence for a week at Wells Cathedral, England in July 2022, at the close of the Choir School’s 15th anniversary season. Twenty-three singers from the Choir of St. Paul’s (boy and girl Choristers from age 10, Teens, Choir School alumni and adult Chancel Choir members) were the choir for six services of Evensong and also for the Sunday morning Choral Eucharist at Wells Cathedral. 

This magnificent Anglican cathedral dates from 1175, the first English cathedral built entirely in the Gothic style.  Cathedral residencies offer the Choir of St. Paul’s a life-changing experience of immersion in the daily rhythm of sung Evensong, becoming a part of this tradition dating from 1549 in the world-wide Anglican communion.

St. Paul's Operation Backpack -- deadline Extended to August!

There’s still time to participate in St. Paul's Annual Backpack Drive for children whose families are helped by Samaritan House, one of the local non-profits with which we partner serving families who are struggling financially. Last year, St. Paul’s community and friends provided 240 backpacks. What will this year's number be?

​

It's an easy and virtual way to help students in need. The COVID -19 pandemic has hit our community's most vulnerable families very hard over the last 30 months. All students deserve to start the school year knowing that their families and the greater community want them to have new backpacks with much-needed supplies.

​

It is a tradition for our St. Paul's community to donate new backpacks and supplies to local students in need through Samaritan House. Like last year, all donations will be done online or through St. Paul's directly. Thank you to all who have already contributed to St. Paul’s Operation Backpack—your generosity to those in need will make a big difference when school reopens for the new year and children helped wear their new backpacks with pride and happiness.

​

It's easy to participate in providing backpack/s for children in need by choosing one of the following options:

1. Go to https://www.roonga.com/stpaulschurchofburlingame to select choose the backpack/s that you'd like to donate OR

2. Send a check (or give online) for Backpacks to St. Paul's Church, 415 El Camino Real, Burlingame, CA 94010 and we'll do the choosing for you. If you send a check, please note "Backpacks" on it.

3. Select the QR code to give online.

Summertime. . . summer fun at St. Paul's

The Vestry is looking for members of our community who would be interested in organizing some opportunities to stay connected with each other during the summer.

They could be:

• hosting a s'mores (marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers) gathering in the early evening around St. Paul's fire pit in the Skillings Garden perhaps with a sing-a-long;

• organizing a St. Paul's picnic/play date in a local park;

• or ???

Our community is brimming with talent and special skills and interests to share.   The gatherings can be limited (for example, a hike) or open for all.   The Vestry encourages everyone to put on their thinking caps and contact one of the Wardens (Tish, Jay, or Lisa) with what you'd like to organize.  

Celebrate Pentecost at St. Paul's

Sunday, June 5 | 10am

St. Paul's Tongan Choir will also be at the 10am service adding its special music to St. Paul's Choir's repertoire.

Watch & Pray | My name is Pauli Murray 

Monday, February 28 | 7:30pm on Zoom

Lifting up a powerful story of justice, would you consider watching this film, praying with the feelings and ideas that emerge for you, and joining others for a conversation? 

About the program

1. Watch the documentary, My name is Pauli Murray (which can be found in Amazon Prime)

2. Pray with & Study it yourself

3. Join a conversation on Monday, February 28 at 7:30pm. Go to Zoom and enter Meeting ID 503 656 8822.

About the Film

Fifteen years before Rosa Parks refused to surrender her bus seat, a full decade before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned separate-but-equal legislation, Pauli Murray was already knee-deep fighting for social justice. A pioneering attorney, activist, priest and dedicated memoirist, Murray shaped landmark litigation—and consciousness— around race and gender equity. As an African American youth raised in the segregated South— who was also wrestling with broader notions of gender identity—Pauli understood, intrinsically, what it was to exist beyond previously accepted categories and cultural norms. Both Pauli’s personal path and tireless advocacy foreshadowed some of the most politically consequential issues of our time. Told largely in Pauli’s own words, My Name is Pauli Murray is a candid recounting of that unique and extraordinary journey of a lifelong faithful Episcopalian called to eventually serve as a priest.

Children and Families: Let's Make Parols!

Sunday, December 12  during 10am Service

Calling all children and families for a fun activity as we prepare for Christmas! All supplies will be provided to make your own Filipino lantern in the children's and family area of the Sanctuary during Sunday's 10am service. If you cannot make it for the service, simply let Jocelyn know. She will package supplies and share directions on how to make these beautiful Parols at home at your own convenience.

The real origin of the Filipino “Parol” can be linked to the Mexican “luminaria” or clay-pot lantern placed outside the window during the El Posada, when villagers re-enact Joseph and Mary’s journey to Bethlehem in search of a room to deliver the baby Jesus. 

What a fitting way to celebrate Gaudete, the Third Sunday of Advent. Rejoice! The Lord is near!

Dedication of Skillings Garden and Labyrinth 

Sunday, September 19 | 11:15am

​

Sunday, September 19 marks the culmination of a long-time dream to transform the much-used area between the Church and the Parish Hall into a Garden with a permanent Labyrinth.  Several gifts over the years got the planning going but the retirement of The Reverend Thomas Skillings in May 2021 after nineteen years as St. Paul's Rector offered the opportunity to raise the needed remaining funds to bring this dream to reality. 

Thank you to everyone who made such a transformational project possible to be enjoyed now and by future generations of St. Paul's and the greater community.

Celebrate the Return to In Person Services
