St. Paul’s OPOP | St. Paul's Episcopal Church

WELCOME HOME, PAUL!Our One Parish One Prisoner (OPOP) team at St. Paul’s has been working together for a year to prepare for our guest’s homecoming. In the process, our lives have been transformed. Meet the OPOP Team:

Members not present include: Paul Lowe, Lauren Wright, Dan Niven, and Francisco Lopez

As we began our journey in preparation for Paul’s homecoming, we learned about Mass Incarceration. This short video will give you an idea of where Paul has been.

As we prepare to welcome Paul into our family, members of the OPOP team have been sharing excerpts from his letters. Tom Worrell reads about Paul’s hopes.

Paul Lowe shares his own story and its similarities and differences to Paul F.’s story.

Now, we would like to introduce you to our new friend Paul. Click on Paul’s picture to go to our bulletin board. Click on the slides to advance them.

Check back for updates because Paul has a lot to share with us.
