Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent. It is a season of penance, reflection, and fasting which prepares us for Christ's Resurrection. Ashes are a symbol of penance made sacramental by the Church's blessing and help us develop a spirit of humility and sacrifice. With the ashes, we recognize that we have sinned but ready for transformation, and that is why the Church reminds us of this reality, saying: "remember that you are dust and to dust you will return."

Each year, the Bishop seeks the support of all the members of the diocese to further the work of our ministries. Your donation is important in building up our Church. Each of us has a vital part in all we do in Christ's name and each of us can share in all we do with a gift to the Annual Catholic Appeal. Our single Act of Faith propels the works of love that build up our Church. St. Paul's share of the diocesan goal is $151,000. We truly need everyone to participate. Our parish will receive a 15% rebate when we collect funds equal to our parish goal. The Bishop is always grateful and moved by the level of support you give to your parish and diocese. Thank you and may God continue to bless you and your family. Please click here to be redirected to the diocesan Catholic Appeal page for more information or to make an online gift/pledge.

Join with our Bishop David M. O'Connell, CM, the Diocese of Trenton, and our St. Paul Parish family to pray this novena January 14-22, 2021 to end abortion.  St. Joseph,  Patron of the Universal Church  and Guardian of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Child Jesus,  the Son of God whom she carried in her Immaculate womb:  intercede for us, we pray,  that all recourse to abortion  might cease in our nation and our world. 

Having now completed the celebration of the Christmas season as a parish family and acknowledging that it was under very different and challenging circumstances this year, I wish to highlight some aspects of our journey this year as a community of believers: 

Our parish will gather for a Mass of Remembrance in memory of our faithful departed, particularly those who have died in the past year, on Monday, Nov. 2 at 7:00 pm in English at 8:30 pm in Spanish. Reservations are required.

During the month of November, we will be creating a virtual Altar of Remembrance on our parish website. You are invited to email a picture of your beloved deceased to be included. Please send pictures to photos@stpaulsofprinceton.org. 

Each year at this time we gather as a family at ParishFest to celebrate the many diverse cultures that make up the Catholic Community of Princeton. A major component of this event is the sharing of ethnic dishes with one another. Because of the COVID 19 restrictions this year we cannot gather together to share a meal. However, we can still feed one another and the broader Princeton Community.
