Vacation Bible Camp (VBC) - VBC has been a
tradition at St. Paul parish for many years. It takes
many many volunteers to offer this week-long summer
program (workers are not paid for giving their time for
this week.) Unfortunately, we were not able to recruit
the volunteer base that would be needed to offer a
program this summer. So, Saint Paul parish will not be
offering VBC this summer. However, the good news
is that one of our parishioners has volunteered to
coordinate VBC for the summer of 2017. And we are
beginning the planning process now! If you are able to
contribute time and talent to our VBC for the summer
of 2017 please contact Margaret Kenny at
Reminder for Families of Candidates being
confirmed Sept 11, 2016 - If your student still hasn’t
fulfilled the requirements of our program, please see
the website listed below to access a guide to

rising high school freshman, be sure to check out
our upcoming events for St Paul Youth Group this
summer and as the new school year begins in Sept.

Health Care Ministry - Near drowning or secondary drowning occurs when a person is
submerged in water and later develops breathing
problems due to swelling in their lungs. Seek medical
help if you notice symptoms of respiratory
distress: such as, increased breathing rate, flaring of
nostrils, retraction of ribs, paradoxical or see-saw
breathing like the stomach pops out and the chest
caves in with each breath. Drowning is death within
24 hours from suffocation by submersion in water. To
prevent drowning and near drowning
accidents: supervise when in or around water, never
swim alone, learn to swim and water safety, learn
CPR, air filled or foam toys are not safety devices use
life jackets, avoid alcohol, four sided fencing around
pools. For more information about water safety, see
www.cdc.gov.
School Supply Drive - Once again Faith Connections will be collecting

supplies such as pencils, pens, crayons, notebooks and
paper. Help needy students in our area have a bright
start to the new school year by donating new school
supplies. We are collecting: Backpacks, Lined paper
(college and wide ruled), Spiral notebooks,
Composition books, Pencils, Pens (blue, black and
