A note from St. Paul's: We hope to raise the roof in singing the hymns that Kathleen loved so much and are opening the choir to singers from around the diocese, for this service. If you would like to sing in the choir please come to the choir room at 2:15 pm.

On parking: St. Paul’s parking lot on the north side of the building is accessible from Pleasant Street or via the alleyway off High Street. St. Paul’s is working with our neighbor (Orchard Place/PACE) to make spaces in their parking lot available for this event as well. On-street parking around St. Paul’s is usually available (metered until 9:00 pm).

May her soul and the souls of all the departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace. We pray for all who mourn, that they may cast their care on God, and know the consolation of God's love. This we ask through Christ our Lord. Amen.
